Definition

The candle holder is known by a variety of names: candleholder, candlestick, chamberstick and candelabrum (the plural is candelabra). Before electrical power became widespread, candles were the means of lighting the home.

Although chamberstick and candle holder are now synonymous, this was not always so. The original chamberstick was shorter and equipped with a pan to hold the melting wax.

Purpose

Aside from decorating the home, a candelabrum is also used in religious ceremonies and meditation. The Jewish Sabbath is marked by lighting two candles on Friday evening. The candle holder sizes vary depending on how many candles have to be used.

The ones used for the Hanukkah can hold up to eight candles. An extra candle is used to light the other ones. The Menorah or 7 branch candelabrum is the symbol of Israel. This was adopted because it was the candelabrum employed in the Jerusalem temple since ancient times. As a rule, taller candlesticks are used in Christian churches.

Besides religious ceremonies, the candlestick is used in other ways. Liberace often put a candlestick on his piano while playing. The candlestick was also featured as a character in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It is also a regular fixture in Hollywood period films.

There are now a lot of candle holder sizes to choose from, so whether you need one for religious or decorative purposes, there won’t be a shortage of types to choose from.
