Birthday Wish

from $25.00

Original Acrylic Painting

I have always been curious about the tradition of Birthday Candles. The earliest stories of candles and cakes are linked to the ancient Greeks. Once a month, they would celebrate the birth of Artemis, goddess of the moon by making round cakes. Lit candles would be placed on the cake to represent a glowing moon and their smoke would carry wishes and prayers to the sky-dwelling gods. The background shows the flickers of flames of birthdays past.
