Votive Candle
Votive Candles
A Votive candle refers to a prayer candle which is given as a votive offering in a religious ceremony. Generally small in size, a Votive candle is available in white or beeswax yellow colours. It also refers to a candle which has a standard size of 2 inches height by 1.5 inches diameter. In the Roman Catholic Church, Votive candles are placed before the statue of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mary. In traditional churches, the candles are placed before a side altar. In Eastern Orthodox Churches, long, thin Votive candles are lit before the icons of Jesus Christ or the Holy Theotokos. These are generally placed in round containers, that have numerous sockets to hold the candles, or in containers filled with sand, in which the devotees place their candles.
There are different kinds of Votive candles, ranging from long, taper-type candles to tealight candles. While tealight candles are placed in holders or on a platform in front of the idol, long candles are usually placed in a special holder.
Votive candle holders are candle holders which are used to place votive candles. They are available in numerous shapes and sizes and are generally made from glass, metal, wood, stone, or ceramic. You can buy Votive candle holders from home supply stores or directly order them through companies that specialize in candles and lighting. Votive candles are quite similar in style to tealights. However, tea lights are comparatively smaller and enclosed in a metal casing. Candle holders designed for votives are usually very tall, enabling the candle to burn freely without getting guttered in the wind. While some candle holders have religious themes, and are designed to be used on the altar, others are secular in nature.
A typical Votive candle holder comprises a tall glass cylinder with a closed bottom. The glass would be either clear or colored. These small candles do not produce much light, but tend to be most effective when they are burned in large clusters. You can use Votive candle holders to burn candles in a much safer way, as flames won’t leap out of traditional Votive candle holders.
