돌잔치 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 host a large gathering with relatives and friends, featuring various foods and activities. During 돌잔치, a special ceremony called 돌잡이 takes place, where the child is presented with various objects. The item the child chooses is believed to predict their future interests or career. Common items include a pen, money, or a book, each representing different paths in life.
