Cutting the tassel
Another moment tied to the traditions of the child’s beginning in life is his one year old birthday and is marked by the cutting of his tassel, occasion to throw a little party inviting the godparents. The woman or man who cut the baby’s tassel gives him a gift. During the party at the table the godfather brings a plate with different objects: ring, pencil, nail, screw, string and so on. The baby touches one of the objects and depending on the object his future is predicted.
