Although it is often written that candles were developed by the ancient Egyptians, who used the first types of lighting – torches, the Romans were the first to make candles – rolled papyrus, soaked in heated tallow, with the intention of illuminating the way for passengers to their homes at night.

A big change occurred when wax candles began to be used in Europe in the Middle Ages. They burned much longer and created a stronger and cleaner light, with a more pleasant smell (unlike tallow). Mostly because they were expensive, they were used by wealthy sections of society in church ceremonies. Tallow candles were used mostly until the 13th century.

With the invention of the light bulb in 1879, the production and use of candles began to decline, which lasted until the beginning of the 20th century, when candles found a new dimension of use and regained their popularity.

Today, candles represent celebrations, romance, relax the senses, determine the ceremony, and emphasize the home decor.
