Electric candlesticks: the modern choice for liturgical furniture
Electric church candlesticks are a modern and popular choice for liturgical décor and do not require the use of actual candles. This makes them a convenient and safe option for churches wishing to avoid fire risk. They can be made of different materials, such as metal or iron, and be designed to match the design of any church or place of worship. In addition, they are easy to clean and maintain, which makes them a practical choice.
Some church candlesticks feature a programmable ignition system, which allows you to program automatic switching on and off, making them a convenient option for churches looking to save on electricity.
Votive vs. gestural candlestick: what's the difference?
Among the various types of candlesticks available, there are votive and gestural candlesticks. But what is the difference between these two?
- Votive candlesticks are usually used to light candles in memory of someone or to ask for a grace and are generally placed in a place dedicated to prayers, such as a devotion area or a place of worship.
- On the other hand, gestural candlesticks are used by priests during the celebration of Mass to carry candles during the rite and are often larger than votive ones.
In summary, the difference between votive and gestural candlesticks lies in their function and use.
