People in Denmark are known for being happy. They also have some interesting traditions. One of the most interesting ones is related to cinnamon and birthdays. If an individual is not married by their 25th birthday, their friends and family will cover them in cinnamon powder. It’s a fun tradition that marks an important stage in life. The origins of the tradition probably started hundreds of years ago when selling spices was an important job.
