Christmas candles displace darkness, bring in the lights. The Candles exactly symbolize, the almighty himself. Christ is the light of the world and when we see these Christmas candles, we are reminded of him.
To welcome new seasons and as a symbol of the Sun, candles were being used from the time immemorial. The first time when Candles were illuminated during Christmas was in Rome during the festival of Saturnalia. The tall wax candles were gifted to Saturn as a symbol of his light.
With the passage of time as the Christianity gained popularity, the practice of lighting candles in front of the window started. The idea was to guide the Christ child as he moved from house to house on Christmas. Sweden still continues the tradition.
Importance of Christmas candles in Victorian Era
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, published in 1843, was not only one of his best loved work but also of the Christianity world. The reason being the length at which he has written in details on the Christmas during Victorian Era. No wonder, The Sunday Telegraph on 18 December, 1988 of Britain called Charles Dickens as "the man who invented Christmas."
