2. CANDLE BUSINESS
 Candles have been used for light and to illuminate
man's celebrations for more than 5,000 years, yet
little is known about their origin
 It is often written that the first candles were
developed by the Ancient Egyptians, who used
rush lights or torches made by soaking the pithy
core of reeds in melted animal fat. However, the
rush lights had no wick like a true candle.

3.  The Egyptians were using wicked candles
in 3,000 B.C., but the ancient Romans are
generally credited with developing the
wicked candle before that time by dipping
rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow
or beeswax

4.  Historians have found evidence that many other early
civilizations developed wicked candles using waxes made from
available plants and insects.
 Chinese candles are said to have been moulded in paper
tubes, using rolled rice paper for the wick, and wax from an
indigenous insect that was combined with seeds.
 In Japan, candles were made of wax extracted from tree nuts
 In India, candle wax was made by boiling the fruit of the
cinnamon tree.

5.  Candles have come a long way since their initial
use.
 Although no longer man's major source of light,
they continue to grow in popularity and use.
 Today, candles symbolize celebration, mark
romance, soothe the senses, define ceremony, and
accent home decors — casting a warm and lovely
glow for all to enjoy.
