The Greeks worshipped many gods and goddesses.
Among them was one called Artemis, the Goddess of the Moon.
The Greeks celebrated her birthday once each month by bringing special cakes to her temple.
The cakes were round like a full moon.
And, because the moon glows with light, the cakes were decorated with lighted candles.
The lit candles on the cake represented the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried their prayers and wishes to the gods who lived in the skies.
