The tradition of celebrating birthdays is rooted in ancient history. Egyptian pharaohs were among the first to have their birthdays honored, though these events were more about commemorating their rule rather than their birth. The Greeks later introduced the idea of birthday cakes, lighting candles as a tribute to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Today, birthdays are widely celebrated with food, gifts, and gatherings.
