Candles have been used for centuries in sacred ceremonies. Buddhist monks light them while meditating in temples. Jews celebrate with them for Hanukkah. Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas with the light of the fire. In many cultures and religions, lighting candles is a symbol of faith, miracle, enlightenment, peace, concentration, life-giving power, and joy.
