Moon and Star Tealight Holder
Perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere with its sleepy sky theme...
It is often written that the first candles were developed by the Ancient Egyptians, who used rushlights or torches made by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat. However, the rushlights had no wick like a true candle.
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. The resulting candles were used to light their homes, to aid travellers at night, and in religious ceremonies.
Nowadays, alongside religious celebrations, romantic evenings and the odd powercut, we also tend to give them as gifts- mainly featuring a stylish jar or a delicious smell!
