Baptism Candles


Candles have been used in religious ceremonies for centuries. They are often used to represent the light of God, and to provide a focus for prayer and meditation. Baptism candles are a specific type of candle that are used during baptisms. They are typically white, and have the name of the person who is being baptised written on them. Prayer candles are traditionally lit at the end of a prayer service. They are usually used to represent the light of God, and to provide a focus for prayer and meditation.

Candlesticks can be made from different materials including gold, silver, crystal or glass. "Candlestick holders" are used in candle making.

A "candle holder" is an item of metalwork which holds a candle, usually for burning. Candles can also be made from wax, a wick and a container for the melted wax. Most candles are made from paraffin wax, which is made by refining petroleum into liquid form in order to achieve a high melting point. A candelabra is a candlestick holder with a candle mounted on a stick, as well as a candle base. In the past, it was also used for more portable candles such as those made of beeswax or tallow. A "candle snuffer" is a metal snuffer for candles. It usually has a handle and a base with holes for the candle's wick to attach to and operate. When lit, it extinguishes the flame of the candle leaving just the wick glowing.

How are Baptism Candles arranged?

The candles may be arranged in a variety of ways, depending on the preference of the church. Some churches use a triangular formation, with one candle in the center and two candles on either side. Others use a spiral formation, with the candles gradually getting larger as they approach the center. Still other churches will use a square formation, with four candles arranged in a square.
