What is a candle?
A candle is a stick made of wax, stearic acid or kerosene. The candle surrounds a wick, the combustion of this one gives an illuminating flame. " Bougie" is a word that appeared in the French language in the th century. It is the transcription of the word Bgayet in Kabyle. The candle provided a large quantity of wax used instead of tallow in candles. Candles that are naturally yellow in color can also be white if the wax in them has been bleached in the sun for several days or weeks. The candle as we know it today was developed in the middle of the th century and differs from the candle by its material and the use of wicks.
The use of the candle today
The candle is used as a source of light in case of power failure. But for a long time, candles were used to measure time. They were graduated candles, burning the wax that remained indicated the elapsed time. The candles also symbolize the years that have passed on the birthday cakes. In ancient Rome, blowing out candles was a tradition that gave older people the opportunity to show that they could still do this exercise. This was a sign of good health.
