A Brief History of Birthday Celebrations


Historians know that celebrating one's birthday is an old custom, though they do not agree on how it came about. Prior to calendars, people measured time by using the moon and the seasons. Therefore, a person would not know the exact day they were born. However, many cultures commemorated a person's birthday either with a celebration once a person crossed over from childhood to adulthood, or to acknowledge the wisdom of an elder person in society and give thanks that they were still with them. When calendars developed, it became easier to note specific days, and the idea of a yearly birthday celebration slowly developed.
