Tol， First Birthday

A year has passed since the baby’s birth and it is time to celebrate tol， the baby’s first birthday.
At tol， the baby is given a brightly colored hanbok to wear. For example， the baby dresses in saektongot with rainbow colored sleeves.
Other special features include an added vest and a hood for boys and for girls， an overgarment which resembles the ceremonial robes of ancient court ladies.
After the baby is properly dressed， he/she is seated in front of a large table. And on the table， you will find different types of food and fruits. You will also find threads， books， calligraphy brushes， money， arrows or daggers， rice， needles， and scissors.
After the baby has been seated with the objects in front of him/her， everyone attending the ceremony waits patiently to see which object the baby will grab. It is believed that the object which is picked up first will foretell the baby’s future.
For example， if the baby picks up a calligraphy brush or a book，it is believed that he/ she will be a scholar. If he/ she picks up an arrow or a dagger， he/ she will be a fighter/warrior. Finally， if he/ she picks up money or rice， it is believed that he/she will be blessed with wealth. If the thread is chosen， it is believed that the baby will have a long life.
Guests usually bring gifts of money， clothes or gold rings as presents. After the tol ceremony has been concluded， the parting guests are given rice cakes.
