Not many of us know the history of birthday celebrations or why they are so important to us each year. One theory is that in ancient Europe, evil spirits were thought to be more attracted to people on their birthdays. In order to keep away the evil spirits, big celebrations full of joy and well wishes were thrown for the birthday person. Today, our birthdays are celebrated as a symbolic gesture of goodwill and appreciation for life.
Gifts have always been a part of birthday celebrations in practically every culture around the world. One favorite birthday gift choice is flowers, as they also symbolize growth, life and rejuvenation. Some cultures around the world embrace the beauty of flowers as a major part of birthday celebrations.
For example, in Egypt, fruit and flowers are used as decorations for birthday parties. They are considered important symbols of growth and life. Flowers cover the birthday chairs of Israeli children. Their family and friends lift them up in the flower adorned chairs, once for each year of life and an extra time for good luck. The gift of flowers is a perfect choice for anyone on their birthdays.
The Bonny Doon Garden Company offers a beautiful Happy Birthday Posie that any birthday honoree will be sure to love. The arrangement includes myrtles, which symbolize joy, lemon balm representing fun, coral roses for longevity, bells of Ireland symbolizing whimsy, and red geraniums for health.
