It is thought that the large-scale celebration of birthdays in Europe began with the cult of Mithras, which originated in Persia but was spread by soldiers throughout the Roman Empire Before this, such celebrations were not
common; and, hence, practices from other contexts such as the Saturnalia were
adapted for birthdays Because many Roman soldiers took to Mithraism, it had a wide distribution and influence throughout the empire until it was supplanted by Christianity The Jewish perspective on birthday celebrations is disputed by
various rabbis
Birthday celebrations were rare during the Middle Ages but saw a
resurgence with the advent of the Reformation During this period, they were
seen as a good way to transfer customs from the saint's days to other dates not
linked to the newly repudiated veneration of saints
Even today, the celebration of birthdays is not universal in the West
