About
Dol (Korean: 돌) or doljanchi (돌잔치) is a Korean tradition that celebrates a baby's first birthday. The tradition has been practiced since the early Joseon period. The ceremony typically involves the ritual offering of a samsinsang to the god Samsin (who is said to watch over children), the preparation of a dolsang with various foods and ritual objects, and a doljabi (based on the Chinese zhuazhou), where children are encouraged to pick up an object that is said to predict their future. The practice has changed over time.
