The Fascinating History of Candles 🕯️✨

Candles have been lighting up our lives for thousands of years—long before electricity! Here’s a journey through their history:

🔥 Ancient Beginnings – The earliest candles date back to 3000 BCE in Egypt and Rome, where people used rolled papyrus dipped in tallow or beeswax.

🌍 Candles Around the World – The Chinese crafted candles from whale fat, while the Japanese used tree nuts. In India, candles were made from boiled cinnamon!

🕯️ The Middle Ages – Beeswax candles became popular in churches and homes of the wealthy due to their cleaner burn compared to animal fat-based tallow candles.

💡 Industrial Revolution – The 19th century saw the invention of stearic acid candles, making them burn longer and brighter.

✨ Modern Candles – Today, candles are not just for light but for relaxation, aromatherapy, and home decor, with natural waxes like soy and coconut leading the way.

At LiaCandles, we continue this tradition by offering high-quality, beautifully crafted candles designed to elevate your space and mood.
