---WHEN YOU BLOW OUT THE CANDLES ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE YOU ARE FOLLOWING A CUSTOM CREATED BY THE ANCIENT GREEKS. ON THE SIXTH DAY OF EACH MONTH, THE BIRTHDAY OF ARTEMIS (goddess of the hunt, Acts 19:23-27), THE ANCIENT GREEKS MADE A HONEY CAKE TOPPED WITH BURNING CANDLES IN HER HONOUR. AS EACH CANDLE WAS EXTINGUISHED, THE PEOPLE PRAYED TO THE GODDESS FOR A PRESENT. IN THE SAME WAY, A PERSON WHO BLOWS OUT ALL THE CANDLES ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE, IT IS BELIEVED, WILL HAVE A WISH GRANTED. AND IT IS A PAGAN'S BELIEF. "THANKS AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALL."
