Blow out the candles on a birthday cake with a blow.

There are several theories and one of them is the Germany of the eighteenth century Kinderfest was celebrated. Two candles were placed in the sweet or dessert of the honored child, one to represent the light of his life and another that symbolized the years to come. This kind of ritual kept the flames burning all day long and was replaced when consumed. When the day ended, they could already be turned off by blowing. Like many rituals then it was believed that the smoke spread the desire we asked for on our anniversary.

Not well seen by Christianity

With Christianity, the tradition of celebrating the birthday by blowing out the candles was somewhat pagan, since the church wanted to celebrate and celebrate the days of the death of the saints and not their birth. But then it marked the date of the birth of Christ, and society was able to recover this custom.
