Candle History

Candles have accompanied mankind for more than 2000 years. Besides their liturgical
relevance, cadmiums were predominantly used as a source of light and in the early history of their
ontogeny were the bust alternative to pinewood throw off (the chip from resinified pinewood)

It was only as late as the mid nineteenth century that stearin and paraffin wax offered further
