Fire is an essential part of Tuareg
celebrations. At this wedding,men
and women build separate fires.
The fires are used for cooking
bread and pots of camel meat,
and are also a gathering place for
passing on knowledge from man
to man and woman to woman.
When Americans celebrate
their birthdays each year, they
put lighted candles on their
birthday cakes. It is believed
that this practice started with
the ancient Greeks. Traditionally,
the birthday celebrant makes
a wish and tries to blow out all
the candles at once. If he or she
succeeds, the wish will come true.http://www.ebook3000.com
