Traditionally, Piņatas were almost exclusively used in religious celebrations.  Nowdays, Piņatas are used in all kind of parties, particularly in events involving children.  In fact in Vancouver, most schoolchildren have had the experience of breaking a Piņata at a birhtday party, and some adults have, at least once in their lives, taken part in a celebration where there was Piņata.

THE CHINESE ORIGIN

 

The history of the piņata is fascinating and reveals many interesting facts about piņatas that go beyond the playing of a game, though piņatas certainly have always been intended for fun.

The Spanish word piņata  came from the pignatta of Italy. The pignatta, or "fragile pot", was made of clay and filled with trinkets, jewelry, or candies. It is said that it was Marco Polo who first brought the pignatta to Italy.
