The Tradition Of Birthday Candles
You have probably grown up with using birthday candles to celebrate your birthday. Each lit candle signifies another year that you have aged. But is it just a symbol of a passing year or does it have a deeper meaning?
Candle lighting has long been associated with different events in a person’s life. Christmas candles are lit to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and celebratory candles are used on graduation day. These are just a few of the events that we mark with candles.
