During the great California Gold Rush and before there was coal oil, kerosene or carbide there was only candlelight. This is a "Sticking Tommy" candlestick. It is iron, made by a blacksmith, and dates to around 1850. These were used during the early days of hard rock mining. The curved hook in the center was used to "stick" the Tommy onto one's hat. Before hard hats, miners wore soft hats. The Tommy could easily be stuck in the hat and then provide arm free lighting while the miner carried his tools and walked to the work site within the mine. Once the miner reached the site, he could then take out the Tommy. If one of the miners needed light in a specific area they could take the Tommy and jab it into a wooden support beam or crevice.

For the candlelight ceremony, there are three candles to represent scholarship, service, and character. The scholarship candle was lit by Selena Tan ‘18, the service candle by Malik, and lastly, the character candle by Stacy Miller ‘18. There was a struggle lighting the last two candles giving many a laugh and after many attempts, the service candle could not be lit.

The daily life of a candle maker was like a peasants. The houses were not very sanitary and nice. They had dirt floors and used mud the way we use cement today. The food was bland and plain. They usually had small gardens that had little vegetables in them. Also, they couldn’t have livestock unless they had enough money which very few peasants had. Clothing was plain with little pattern.

This article focuses on the Revolutionary period of Colonial Williamsburg when candles were a primary light source in homes. At this time in history there were four primary substances used in making candles, spermaceti, tallow, beeswax, and myrtle or bayberry wax. The three latter substances were produced in Virginia. Methods of making these candles and how they were shaped are described in the article.

The candles normally used are Biosun ear candles, which are made by hand today using the traditional recipe incorporating

The pure wax symbolizes Jesus’ pure fresh inherited from the Virgin Mary. The wick represent the soul of Christ, and the flame His divinity. Many places that sale these candles house them in glass cases because of their sacredness. Today there are many different colors for these candles. Mr. Ham was specific he said if you buy a color candle make sure that you are buying it for what it symbolize. Some examples of the color candles are: the red candle (Energy, vitality, fertility, fire, physical strength, willpower, courage, and health), the yellow candle (protection, clairvoyance, persuasion, wisdom, confidence, happiness, and energy), the orange candle (encouragements, attraction, emotional healing, cleansing negativity, career, wealth, ambition, friends), the green candle (Money, health, fertility, marriage), the blue candle (truth, loyalty, understanding, weight loss, contentment, and devotion), the purple candle (royalty, power, confidence, wisdom, success, meditation). There are also pink, brown, black, gold, silver, and white. Along with the color representation there are interpretations. For example, if you have the protection candle and when you light it doesn’t burn then there is negativity energy preventing it to burn. Hondurans are very religious people, Mr. Ham says even if they don't seem to be

Millhouse Candles has an article on their website with a timeline of candle history. “A Short History of Candles” outlines this history from 3000 BC to present.

In this project we examined three explanations that talk about (a) candle(s) in a jar and their investigation reasoning to why the labs they did were concluding in such a way. The first explanation resulted that the candle inside the jar took up all the oxygen molecules inside the flask which then lowers the pressure inside and the higher pressure outside the flask is what causes the water to rise up. The second explanation resulted in that the air pressure increases inside the jar because of the heat from the candle, which causes air to come out of the jar and once the candle cools down the pressure decreases and the pressure outside the jar increases which results in pushing the air in and making the water rise up. The third explanation resulted in oxygen inside the flask becoming carbon dioxide which then dissolves in water causing the air pressure to decrease under the glass and the higher pressure outside the flask pushed the water up the flask. I believe that explanation number three is right because the flame causes carbon dioxide to be created and that

At one time, scented candles were a rare luxury to be enjoyed only by the rich while the rest of us made do with the ordinary white candles during power cuts and at Christmas time. However, that has all changed, and an endless variety of fragrances are filling our homes and relaxing us. Candles are just one of these sources of wonderful smells, but they are also a very popular source, partially because of the number of different forms in which they are available but also because they look so good with their burning flame.
