腊八节的由来有两个传说。一说佛祖释迦牟尼成佛前进山修行．十二月初八这天因饥饿劳累栽倒路旁， 被一牧羊女发现，用大米粥救活，使他大彻大悟．得道成佛。一说，明朝皇帝朱元璋小时给财主放牛，因牛腿摔断被财主关在一间屋子里，3天没给饭吃， 他饥饿难忍．到处搜寻．终于发现了一个老鼠洞，从中挖掘出豆、谷等各种粮食，煮成粥食用，觉得非常香甜。

后来朱元璋做了皇帝，想起小时候吃那顿粥 的味道，就命太监用各种粮食煮了一锅糖粥，欢宴群臣，后朝中文武百官争相效仿并传入民间，遂成了一种节日习俗。因朱元璋吃糖粥的日子是腊月初八， 所以这粥也就叫"腊八粥"了

“腊八”是佛教的盛大节日。解放以前各地佛寺作浴佛会，举行诵经，并效仿释迦牟尼成道前， 牧女献乳糜的传说故事，用香谷、果实等煮粥供佛，称“腊八粥”。并将腊八粥赠送给门徒及善男信女们，以后便在民间相沿成俗。据说有的寺院于腊 月初八以前由僧人手持钵盂，沿街化缘，将收集来的米、栗、枣、果仁等材料煮成腊八粥散发给穷人

传说吃了以后可以得到佛祖的保佑，所以穷人把 它叫做“佛粥”。南宋陆游诗云：“今朝佛粥更相馈，反觉江村节物新。”据说杭州名刹天宁寺内有储藏剩饭的“栈饭楼”平时寺僧每日把剩饭晒干， 积一年的余粮，到腊月初八煮成腊八粥分赠信徒，称为“福寿粥”“福德粥”意思是说吃了以后可以增福增寿。可见当时各寺僧爱惜粮食之美德。
