The earliest mention of a birthday was around the year 3,000 BCE and was in reference to an Egyptian Pharaoh. Although it was more about his transformation into becoming a God at his coronation than his actual birth into the world. The Ancient Greeks celebrated the birthdays of their Gods every year and believed that every person had a spirit assigned to them at birth. A spirit that had a mystic connection with the God on whose birthday they were born.
In the early days of the Christian church, birthdays were considered to be a celebration of evil, as all people were thought to be born with “original sin”. So, up until the 4th century, most European Christians believed that celebrating a birthday was a pagan and unholy practice. Then the birth of Jesus became a celebration to satisfy those who still celebrated the holiday of the Roman God Saturnalia. Most low-born Medievals didn’t even know their birth date, but the highborn and wealthy really did know how to throw a party. Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Here's my ID: 5A02VM Shaegar....I don't know if I need to keep playing(I plan to lol) but I never received my pack. And I believe that is a zero after the "A"
Tomorrow I will be 70, my dog Santo turned 15 yesterday, and cat Olaf will be 10 the day after tomorrow. So it’s like this video was made for us. Greetings from the oldtimers club. 😊
Happy Birthday to you and your lovely furry buddies!🎉🎉
Wishing you and your furry family members very happy birthdays and many more peaceful and prosperous years to come! 🐈⬛🎉🥳
Hello

Vampire was my guess 🤣
My favourite channel uploading a Medieval birthday episode ON my birthday? Best birthday ever 🎉🎉
Happy Birthday 🎂+🥂
Happy Birthday!
Thanks!!!
What I like about this channel is that it asks questions I would never think of
The last section made me think of a perfect topic: kitchens. I’d love to see the difference between how a serf prepared his own food and how the nobility did it.
Omg ! My home country Poland 🇵🇱 still celebrates names day. The date is celebrated linked to a saint. Love this ! It was a huge deal when I was little and as young adult . It’s still a big deal in Poland with the older generation :).
Same thing in Ukraine!
Same in the Czech Republic,@@asecamp . I think it´s something normal in Central and Eastern Europe.
We still celebrate that in finland🇫🇮
Among the older generations in Poland, there is still a tradition that birthdays are celebrated by children, and the grownups celebrate namedays. My elderly neighbour liked to say that birthday celebrations for grownups are "German custom". I don't believe she was very fond of Germans in general, she was a survivor of WWII and veteran of Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
Makes sense Germanic peoples of western Europe do birthdays whereas I've only known eastern Slavic people do namedays.
Ye same in Greece!
Same in Romania, they still celebrate name day!
The only thing I don’t like about this channel is there isn’t enough videos
An interesting video. However, at 8:51 you mention Edward I and the popularity of The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer didn't write The Canterbury Tales until the late 1380s and Edward I died in 1307. Edward I may have tried to drum up support for his wars during banquettes but your given example related to The Canterbury Tales would not have occurred. I enjoy the varied topics you pick so keep up the good work.
The sponsor section is explained so intricately and in an entertaining manner I watched all of it and am actually considering downloading the app LOL
Pretty cool this was released on my 50th birthday!!
Happy Birthday Jen.
What a great idea for a video!
Thank you for our education.😌
I love your channel!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
It’s my birthday today funny enough
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
704? You're still only a whippersnapper 🦇
Happy Birthday, young man! God - what I would give to be just 704 years old again? You young whipper-snapper!! - Not jealous at all... Have a damn good one! ;-)
Early Christians didn't celebrate birthdays mainly because of its connection to pagan gods and rituals. These old customs were loosely adapted into name days and the gods were changed to saints.
Wasn't the only birthday celebration mentioned in the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar?
A very nice video to post on my niece's tenth 😂
@8:52..How did King Edward 1, in 1254 mid-13th century), have actors dressed as characters from The Canterbury Tales, which was written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the mid-14th century?
Hey! It’s my daughter’s bday! Perfect timing
how many people would've been at this feast? oh my god 2,000 birds!!
Happy birthday!
@3:04 you welcomed
Lampreys and peach gravy. Holy Shiite , sounds so good
Maybe do one on funeral and burial practices.You've done weddings and now birthdays so........Have fun on your channel thanks
Fruity fish? Hard pass!🤢
@@kellysouter4381 i was being sarcastic
Great idea!
I'll be celebrating my birthday soon too! What a coincidence! ❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂❤🎂
At first, I heard that it was 74th, not 704th. I didn't think his voice sounded as developed as someone in his 70s...Unless of course, he had discovered the key to youth which has kept him alive into his 700s, as he has.
Was not expecting for this channel to have a sponsor for that game that floods my youtube feed with blatantly sexual furry ads
I don't think Edward I would have known much about Geoffrey Chaucer
I doubt peoples ages were "often estimated"... obviously the peasants of old were intimately connected to the change in seasons and would easily be able to keep track of someone's age. The only approximation would be a few months maybe.
Very true. It's likely that most people had some idea of how old they were, certainly in years but months may have been less accurate.

Pretty sure the photo you used for Egyptian birthday was a funeral lol
is it still a miracle if you're turning water into wine by way of grapes? ^^
4:56 We don’t cause trouble. We don’t bother nobody.
All you can eat buffet's are the equivalent of medieval banquets. Well done everyone, we're rich compared to 1400's living standards.
1:07 can someone scan that and tell me where it leads?
Happy belated 704th!
I really really love these lil documentaries about life in these times!!! So I have started to slowly buy n collect gold. I started at 1 gram about 3 months ago. Now have 8 grams gold and 1 ounce silver with two lil extra bars one 5gram one 10gram. So one and a half ounces of silver and only 8 grams gold. What would this be worth in these times please? Can I buy a loaf of bread or a house? Maybe a horse? It would be super cool to know please mate
king Edward I lived before the wife of bath's tale was written. Chaucer was writing in the 14th century, so people would not have dressed up as one of his characters in the 13th century.
Idk how they did week long parties back then, even when I was in my party phase I couldn't go a full week...
how’d you know to upload this on my birthday?
I think the average person would not bother, my Indian ex mum in law had not ceebrated birthdays in India, my african friend never did birthdays in her childhood, now as i plod on towards 60 I like to forget birthdays.
I never celebrate my birthday and most people don’t even know when mine is.
Honestly celebrating various people's birthdays through out the year is exhausting. At my work I told them not to celebrate my birthday anymore cause it didn't mean much to me anyways, and really just seemed like a obligation then genuine celebration.
🎂
3:48 Anybody know the name of this painting? The boys having the same adult face is captivating to me, i must stare at it more!
How did they dress up as Chaucer characters if Chaucer wouldn't be born until the 1340s?
I thought you said master "Zaggat" I was like, damn is that where Zagat guide comes from? Been listening to American Psycho a bit much lately.😂
Somebody please pass the dolphin meat🐬🐬🐬
Damn
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The c in blancmange is silent.
Did this guy just say he's 704
i be 56 winters old
In my country (Bulgaria)
We have both birthdays and name day - if you’re named after saint
St George’s day for instance (May 6th) also happens to be a national holiday
When I first watched my favorite tv series- Game of Thrones
I was a bit confused
With the term “name day”
It took some time
Before I realized
It actually meant birthday
In the Catholic south of The Netherlands name days are also celebrated.
It used to be the same for Catholic countries, specially South America, but that's lost in last 50 years.
You used an 18th century people in your thumbnail, not medieval.
0:50 The Christmas feast predates Saturnalia.
If you just celebrated your 704th you wouldn't need to wonder
Christians took over the most of the pagan Sabbaths.
By Your Leave: twelve (12) minutes including a paid promotion PLUS Three Pairs of Ads, all for a piddling pile of puerile piffle.
Please don’t directly link Saturnalia with Christmas like that. Multiple academic sources have repeatedly pointed out that there is little to no historical basis for any such connection, and thatthe idea seems to have largely originated with a 19th century author who employed no sources to validate his claims. This isn’t to say Christmas was never influenced by other holidays, merely that we have no real historical evidence for it.
When he said that part, it made me start to doubt this channel. Christmas and saturnalia never even fell on the same date.
I think it's odd that you keep using 17th-century art (and later) to talk about the Middle Ages.
Not munch information about birthdays.
birthdays weren't invented till mid 1700s lol
ANOTHER mistitled video! You hardly mentioned birthdays!!
Ha ha looks like the Jehovah's witnesses have it right then.
If you reached 25, you reached the average medieval life expectancy.
As long as you made it past being a toddler, you were good to go and would live nearly as long as a modern person
