While the original purpose of candles was to provide light to a dark path, candles have far exceeded its expectations. It is said that 7 out of 10 people use candles in their household. Candles have grown from the typical wax and wick combination to a plethora of other ingredients. Some modern candles are made with gel, dye, fragrances, dried fruit, and soy, just to name a few.

The inventor of the first candle is debatable; however its original purpose is obvious. It can be concluded that those living during the pre-electricity age did not anticipate the multiple uses for candles. Living in a post-electricity age, there are many more reasons to light a candle. Here is a list of common reasons:

In honor of a lost loved one.
