Here is something we can learn about candles!!

CANDLE HISTORY
Ancient Egyptians used rush lights which were torches made by soaking core of reeds into hot animal fat and Romans were the first to use candles that used a wick that soaked up tallow which produced a flame. Later beeswax was being used to make candles, candles were also produced from the sweet smelling, clean burning wax obtained from bayberry bush by boiling its berries. Paraffin wax candles were made in mid 18th century burned clean with no foul smell and this wax also added hardness and helped produced a stronger candle.

There are many TYPES OF CANDLES:
Pillar Candles are solid and self standing. Their shapes are typically round, but also come in square, rectangular, hexagonal, and other designs. Some may have more than one wick. Heat resistant candle bases or stands must be used.

Taper or Dinner Candles as they are also called, are usually 3/4" to 1" in diameter, ranging from 6" - 18" tall. Tapers need to be securely set in an appropriately designed candle holder, which will keep them in an upright position for proper and safe burning.

Gel Candles are produced from gelled mineral oils or gelled, synthetic hydrocarbons. They are transparent, rubbery and are usually poured into various shaped containers. Gels can also be made rigid enough to retain and support their own shape.

Floating Candles have a low, stable profile and are designed to float on water. They vary in form from simple, smooth designs to elaborate, realistic shapes.

Container or Jar Candles are non-flammable, heat resistant containers which are filled with wax and wick. Containers such as heat resistant glass jars and ceramic pottery are commonly used.

Votive Candles are normally 2 1/2" high and usually square or cylindrical in shape. They are burned safely in small, heat resistant, glass containers to control the liquefied wax, as the candles burn.

Tealight Candles are usually about 1 1/2" in diameter and around 3/4" high inside a cylindrical metal container. These small filled candles are used in food warmers or as candles in a tealight holder.
