돌상
"돌상" is a traditional Korean celebration that marks a child's first birthday. This event is significant in Korean culture, symbolizing the child's survival and growth during their first year of life. Families often prepare a special table, known as a "돌상," adorned with various foods, including rice cakes, fruits, and other symbolic items that represent good fortune and health.
During the celebration, a ceremony called "돌잡이" takes place, where the child is presented with various objects. The item the child chooses is believed to predict their future path, such as wealth, education, or career. This event is a joyful occasion for families, often filled with food, laughter, and blessings for the child's future.
