Birthday traditions have varied over the centuries and across cultures. In ancient civilizations, birthdays were special occasions, often surrounded by religious and magical beliefs. People believed that these days were particularly vulnerable to evil forces, so various protective measures were taken to ward them off.
In medieval times, birthday celebrations were modest, often associated with name day celebrations. Among the nobility, birthdays could be an occasion to organize an elegant feast, to which guests were invited and presented with gifts.
In the 19th century, Victorian England brought with it new customs. The first birthday cards appeared, as well as elegant parties, especially for children, where tea, cakes, and other delicacies were served.
