 In this February day in a number of European countries celebrated a beautiful holiday - the day of the candles. Perhaps few people in the world who would be indifferent to the burning candles. Perhaps our fascination with them comes from the depths of the distant past of mankind.
Especially beautiful wax candles warm yellow and brown shades.
In ancient times, at first candles were made of fibrous material impregnated with resin.
The earliest wax candles, scientists assumed to have appeared in ancient China and Japan. In these countries, the wax obtained from the seeds of the plants and insects, was stirred and was rolled into tubes, and placed inside a wick made from plant fibers.
The first candles from beeswax appeared in Europe in the Middle Ages, with the development of beekeeping were very expensive and could buy only the rich people. But they are so exciting smell of honey and burned evenly and brightly.
We can also light a wax candle, the more doctors say
