Tradition of Christmas Candles

While today, Christmas candles are largely bought for gifting and décor, in the Victorian era, people used to decorate Christmas trees with candles. Going back even longer in history – Romans, during their Saturnalia festival, gifted candles to guests and offered candles to Saturn as well.
The Pagans used candles in their Yule festivities as a symbol of light and to mark the coming of a new beginning. In some parts of the Europe, the ancient tradition of placing the candles on windows still continues. In earlier days, this was done to help the Christ child wander from place to place on Christmas Eve.
The tradition of Christmas candles still continues, although the way it is done might have changed over time. Besides gifting and décor, Christmas candles are also used at the time of offering prayers and singing carols in churches.

Candles at Church

Why do Catholics light candles at church?
Dear Inquirer,
Thanks for the question. We light candles during official church services (called liturgy, such as Mass) to indicate the special solemnity of the occasion.
Perhaps you are also referring to those stands which have small banks of candles which people can light (usually within small glass containers, colored or not, and often called "vigil lights"). Often you can find them near a statue or icon of Mary. These are called votive candles and indicate that someone is praying about something particular, either for themselves or on behalf of someone else. The word "votive" can also refer to a promise to pray for someone, as well as a wish or desire for a certain outcome on behalf of someone, such as recovery of health.

Black Candles

Each color of candle symbolizes and creates particular mood such as love, happiness, anger and many more.Burning Black Candles seems to have a negative connotation associated to it. Many people (not all) associate black candles to witchcraft, evil and darkness, but yet it not considered evil or dark to wear black clothing or use black decorations around your house, or drive a black car. Black is very mysterious and because of its association with death, grief, evil, witchcraft and darkness- perhaps that is why many people shies away from burning black candles. I looked at Google search by someone on “black and white neutral colors meanings” there were close to three million responses. The bottom line is; it depends on who you speak too as to whether black and white are even true colors. But this is not about whether black and white are true colors but why so many people place a negative connotation on burning black candles. I believe since the demand for solid black candles is not in great demand the manufactures just does put a lot of effort into supplying them in large quantities.
