Cup Cake med lys

Helt tilbage i det gamle bondesamfund var det skik at tænde lys for det nyfødte barn, idet den folkelige opfattelse, af lysets og ildens magiske kræfter, var at holde onde ånder og lyssky dæmoner borte.

Forestillingen om, at barnets livslys var afhængigt af lysets måde at brænde ned på, lysegenskaben, knyttede sig til dåb og bryllup.

De lys, der således blev tændt for barnet eller brudeparret, skulle derfor helst brænde ud af sig selv eller slukkes efter bestemte forskrifter, en skik der i nutiden kun bruges i forbindelse med fødselsdagskagens lys.

Candles

In the old days amongst the farmers it used to be a custom to light a candle when a child was born.

The reason was that the people believed that the magic power of the light and the fire would keep away bad spirits and deter demons.

The idea that a child’s life-line depended on the way the candle burned down and the quality of the candle, was connected with christening and marriage.

Those candles which were lighted for the child or the newly-married couple should therefore burn out completely or be put out following certain traditions, a custom which is still used today with the candles on a birthday cake.
