Is there any symbol and norms attached to it? 11 Answers ActiveVotedNewestOldest -1 LuckScout Member Posted June 26, 2025 1 Comment Birthday candles represent the light of life and the joy of celebrating another year of existence. The flames of a candle represent purity and divine light, and it is customary to make a wish before blowing out your birthday candle. The number of candles usually represents the age of the person being celebrated. Some scholars believe the tradition of birthday candles began in Germany, while others believe it began in Ancient Greece.
