Getting Votive Candles

Posted February 9th, 2010.

One of the most important Church supplies that any congregation needs are candles. Candles are often used in various church ceremonies and services. Some churches generally light candles to add solemnity to a church service and they are often used to symbolize the light that Christ has given us. It represents that we are under the saving grace of the Lord and that we are bathed in his light. Other ceremonies that use candles include first communions for little children or confirmations for teens.

The type of candles used would vary on the denomination. Others churches use only candles made from 50% beeswax while others prefer a different makeup.
