-"One month birthday": in the days of high infant mortality, a child's birth wouldn't be celebrated until he/she (traditionally he, unfortunately) had survived a full month. You can read more about it if you search for "red egg party." Mothers would also be quarantined for a month after giving birth to give them time to recover, and so their child's one-month birthday would be their reintroduction into the world.
