The  History of Candle

The history of candles dates back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, where early candles were made from reeds soaked in animal fat. Romans improved candlemaking with tallow. Medieval Europe saw candles used in monasteries and the rise of beeswax candles. The Industrial Revolution led to advancements in candle production. In modern times, candles are both practical and symbolic, used for illumination, relaxation, and decoration, evolving from a simple source of light to a multifaceted cultural symbol.
