¿WHY WE CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAYS?

Some of the topics that have given me the most curiosity about the life of the human being is:

¿WHY WHEN WE FULFILL YEARS, DO WE CELEBRATE IT?

You have asked yourself that same question, ¿ever?, ¿Who in life has never celebrated a birthday? Maybe from a friend or a family member, even from oneself, either publicly or privately, I think we've all done sometime, but why? And for what?

In the course of life, people from the day they are born, parents are already celebrating your first birthday, even days before the baby is born, some parents decide to celebrate the baby shower.

¿BUT WHERE COMES OF DOES THE TRADITION OF CELEBRATING THE BIRTHDAY COME FROM?

Various sources affirm us: That celebrating a person's birthday has been going on for a long time in history, and that this tradition was born in those occult religions of magic and sorcery of antiquity. For these religions of occultism, to celebrate the birthday of a person was to congratulate the birthday boy or birthday girl with prayers, cults and gifts, whose purpose was to protect them from the demons and evils that could harm them, and thus keep them safe and safe until the next year

In those times, the catholic church ordered to prohibit the realization of these celebrations, because I considered them as pagan and unclean beliefs. But in the course of history these traditions have been assimilating little by little into the population, even the Catholic Church itself over the course of time I have assimilated this tradition, a clear example would be the celebration of Christmas, at Christmas we all celebrate the birth of the child Jesus, therefore, we are celebrating the birthday of Christ.

In our current age, celebrating birthdays means a pleasant time to get closer to the people around you, as well as family and friends, have a good time, accompanied by piñatas, cakes and many candies.

So ¿what do you think about celebrating birthdays?
