Candles have a unique place in our society today, and are
also a link with our past. Candles
have been used for light and to illuminate man's celebrations for more than
5,000 years, yet little is known about their origin. It is often written that
the first candles were developed by the Ancient Egyptians, who used rush-lights
or torches made by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat.
However, the rush-lights had no wick like a true candle.

Candles have come a long way since their initial use.
Although no longer man's major source of light, they continue to grow in
popularity and use. Today, candles symbolize celebration, mark romance, soothe
the senses, define ceremony, and accent home decors —
casting a warm and lovely glow for all to enjoy. Candles come in virtually
every shape and size imaginable. Some of the majorly used candles are Taper,
Pillar, Votive Gel, Jar or Filled, Tea Light, Printed
Glass Candle, Floating
Candles, Scented
Candles and many more.
People are decorating with candles of all shapes, sizes,
colors and fragrances. They create a warm, inviting feeling and make a room
feel cozy. Many people feel that candles put them in a good mood. Unlike
anything else, candles convey messages of romance, warmth, spirituality, secret
wishes and brightness, all with the simple components of wax and a wick.
Everything seems lovelier by candlelight. Candles can add
warmth, style and ambiance to any room in the home. Whether grouped for drama
in the living room, paired in candlesticks on the dining table, or snuggled in
colored glass votive on the mantel, candles add elegance and style to homes
around the world. Scented candles are great for any room in the house, but
unscented candles are best for dining. Scented candles can conflict with the
aroma and enjoyment of your food.
