Candles have been used to light manŠ²Šā¢s life for more than 5,000 years. It has been written that Egyptians were the first to develop candles. ThereŠ²Šā¢s really not a great deal really known about the origin of candles.
Early CandlesThe Egyptians were using wicked candles in 3,000 B.C. (Candles in the Middle AgesIn the early years, candles were first made from animal fat or tallow, but as the middle ages approached, there were some improvements on what candles were made from. Beeswax candles were first introduced over in Europe. Beeswax seemed to be a better material because it burned cleaner and didnŠ²Šā¢t produce that smoky flame like candles made from animal fat. Beeswax also had a very pleasing smell. The one drawback was that these candles were expensive, so during the middle ages, the only people that could actually afford them were the wealthy. The most common candles in European homes were the candles made from tallow.
The Egyptians also used “old” and “old” kinds of flammable wood which was used on very sturdy wood and made from old wax.

Beeswax is very popular around Egypt and the Arab world.
Beeswax is a very beautiful and beautiful wood. Brought from old, dry, old wood. As with any good wax, it can be rough to get into. The main difference is that beeswax also makes people feel good and happy. Beeswax also has several other useful properties: the flammable nature of it, the longevity in it, the durability, and the use of some of the other properties you can imagine.
There are several types of dry beeswax wood. These are:
The first type used was a red/gold color.Bee Waxed
The other types of beeswax wood were not used many centuries later by the Egyptians and other Arabs but also did serve as a base building material as a way of burning and drying clothes and other items. It is said that one of the first things that happened in Egypt was that the Egyptians made beeswax and they made one of those very powerful fire-based candles
There is a very strong aroma and flavour. There is a lot of dry beeswax wood, making you very happy and happy.
To get rid of the bad qualities of beeswax wood, the Egyptians first used acacia, which is one of the main woods, that are known for their ability to form a fine fragrance. The Egyptian Egyptians also made a second kind which was called “red oak” by the Egyptians.
The Arab people also made these candles as a way to kill insects which had been growing about their houses. This style of fire-based candles were popular in Europe especially before the Middle Ages.

Colonial TimesDuring Colonial times, women came up with the very keen idea of boiling berries from bayberry bushes. The berries produced a very sweet smelling candle, but extracting the wax from the bayberries was a very hard job and so this idea didnŠ²Šā¢t last very long. In the 18th century, there was a huge growth in the whaling industry, and so people starting taking the sperm whale oil and crystalizing it to use for wax. This type of wax burned clean just like the beeswax and also gave off a much brighter light. Another great thing about these candles were the fact that they were much harder so they were able to withstand the heat in the summer.
Advances into the 19th CenturyThere were so many major developments in the 19th century that forever changed the way candles were made. A French chemist Michel Eugene Chevreul discovered how to extract stearic acid from animal fatty acids which lead to the development of stearin wax. (
Changes in the 20th CenturyDuring the first part of the 20th century, candles started to regain much of their popularity again. In the 1980Š²Šā¢s candles became so much more than just decorative items. Candles started to become available in many different sizes, shapes, colors, and scents. Scented candles took off and running and became a hot item all over the world.
Candles TodayCandles today are used for so many different things. Candles are used for all types of celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, ceremonies, and religious events. Candles are items used for setting the mood for romance because of the amber glow of ight that they give off as well as the soothing scents. Candles are used to make homes smell lovely and inviting. Candles are in our homes in a case there is an emergency and the lights go out. We find ourselves having to go back to the old ways to see in our homes if we lose electricity. The great thing about candles is that they are safe to burn if they are used properly.
