臘八節的由來有兩個傳說。一說佛祖釋迦牟尼成佛前進山修行.十二月初八這天因饑餓勞累栽倒路旁， 被一牧羊女發現，用大米粥救活，使他大徹大悟，得道成佛。一說，明朝皇帝朱元璋小時給財主放牛，因牛腿摔斷被財主關在一間屋子里，3天沒給飯吃， 他饑餓難忍.到處搜尋.終于發現了一個老鼠洞，從中挖掘出豆、谷等各種糧食，煮成粥食用，覺得非常香甜。
后來朱元璋做了皇帝，想起小時候吃那頓粥 的味道，就命太監用各種糧食煮了一鍋糖粥，歡宴群臣，后朝中文武百官爭相效仿并傳入民間，遂成了一種節日習俗。因朱元璋吃糖粥的日子是臘月初八， 所以這粥也就叫"臘八粥"了
“臘八”是佛教的盛大節日。解放以前各地佛寺作浴佛會，舉行誦經，并效仿釋迦牟尼成道前， 牧女獻乳糜的傳說故事，用香谷、果實等煮粥供佛，稱“臘八粥”。并將臘八粥贈送給門徒及善男信女們，以后便在民間相沿成俗。據說有的寺院于臘 月初八以前由僧人手持缽盂，沿街化緣，將收集來的米、栗、棗、果仁等材料煮成臘八粥散發給窮人
傳說吃了以后可以得到佛祖的保佑，所以窮人把它叫做“佛粥”。南宋陸游詩云：“今朝佛粥更相饋，反覺江村節物新。”據說杭州名剎天寧寺內有儲藏剩飯的“棧飯樓”平時寺僧每日把剩飯曬干， 積一年的余糧，到臘月初八煮成臘八粥分贈信徒，稱為“福壽粥”“福德粥”意思是說吃了以后可以增福增壽�？梢姰敃r各寺僧愛惜糧食之美德。
