Candles are an age-old source of light and comfort. They have been used since antiquity in various traditions and cultures around the world. Candles can be found in churches, homes, restaurants, and a variety of other places. From providing a calming atmosphere to having special meaning in religious rituals, candles can have an important role in our lives.
Candlelight has a calming effect on people due to its soft glow that can fill any room with warmth and tranquility. Just turning off the lights and lighting some candles will immediately bring a sense of peace to any environment. This is why candles are often used during meditation or yoga practices as well as for relaxation purposes such as aromatherapy or spa treatments.
In many religions such as Catholicism, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism candle lighting is often part of the daily routine or rituals performed during special occasions like weddings or baptisms. The flame symbolizes faith while creating an atmosphere that helps focus attention towards spiritual beliefs by creating an ambience filled with holiness or reverence for God’s presence.
