953 nut 57,839 #1 Posted Friday at 10:50 AM National Piñata Day is observed on April 18 each year. No one on this planet doesn’t love candy. You don’t have to stop at just one sweet; instead, go ahead and shatter a colorful candy container known as a piñata to get as much candy as possible. Your birthday party and other celebrations would not have been as successful without the colorfully designed piñata containers. Those who haven’t yet attempted to open a paper-mâché donkey may do so on this National Piñata Day. The origins of the piñata may be traced back to the 13th century. The Chinese created piñatas for their New Year festivities to bring good fortune to the growing season. They were usually fashioned like cows or oxen and ornamented with vivid colors and ribbons and were brimming with seeds. The Chinese burned the remnants of the piñata and stored the ashes for good luck after it was shattered. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
