Candles date back to
early biblical times. For centuries they were the main source of
light. Most of the early Greek and Roman candles were made from a
thread of flax coated with wax and pitch. In other countries,
candles were made of palm oil, coconut oil, beeswax and olive oil.

Although,
electricity has replaced candle power as an important source of light,
the candle still remains in our lives. Today candles are more
popular than ever. They are used for decorative purposes, for
festive occasions, for the calm and sanctity they evoke, and for the
general mood of warmth, relaxation, and even romance they creates in our
homes. |
