piñata, 피냐타
A piñata is a traditional Mexican party decoration. It's a paper mache figure filled with various candies and gifts.
A person, blindfolded, hits the piñata with a stick, causing the gifts inside to spill out. It's used as a fun game at birthday parties and celebrations.
피냐타는 멕시코의 전통적인 파티 장식물입니다. 다양한 과자와 선물이 들어있는 종이로 만든 인형이에요.
눈을 가리고 막대기로 피냐타를 치면 안에 있는 선물들이 쏟아져 나옵니다. 생일파티나 축하행사에서 즐거운 게임으로 사용되죠.
Piñatas were originally used by Spanish missionaries for religious education. The seven points represented the seven deadly sins, and breaking it symbolized overcoming evil. Today, it has become part of party culture worldwide.
Recently, modern piñata designs modeled after popular characters or emojis have become popular, moving beyond traditional shapes. Sharing the moment of breaking the piñata on social media has become a trend, and DIY piñata making is also gaining popularity.
