DESCRIPTION:
WORLD CANDLE MONTH: ILLUMINATING THE WORLD IN JOY
World Candle Month is an annual event dedicated to the beauty and significance of candles. The National Candle Association champions the event by highlighting its cultural, emotional, and practical importance.
A SHORT HISTORY OF CANDLES
Candles have a rich history dating back thousands of years. The earliest known candles were created by Egyptians, who used rushlights soaked in animal fat.
The Romans developed wick candles using tallow or beeswax.
Over centuries, candlemaking evolved, with significant advancements during the Middle Ages when beeswax candles became popular in Europe for religious ceremonies.
The 19th century saw the introduction of paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct, which revolutionized candle production and made it more affordable and accessible.
Soy became a key ingredient in candles during the last half of the 20th century, further increasing their affordability.
