Church candle holders: usefulness and functionality of religious articles

Church candle holders, also known as candlesticks, are sacred objects of great importance to the liturgy and are present in many churches around the world.

These church items are often made of high-quality materials, such as bronze or silver, and can be of different shapes and sizes.

Their main use is that to support candles during religious celebrations, as do candlesticks, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere but they can also be used for decorative purposes, adding a touch of beauty and refinement to the surrounding environment if you decide to opt for a product decorated with engravings or to which you can accompany sacred images. 

It is important that the candlesticks are durable and stable to avoid accidents during celebrations.

The history of candle holders: symbolism and meaning of liturgical objects

Their history dates back to ancient times, where these products were used to illuminate the caves or catacombs where Christians gathered to pray. With the passage of time, church candle holders have taken on an even deeper symbolic value, becoming an essential element within the liturgy. They represent the divine light, the light that illuminates the path of the faithful and guides them towards salvation.
