the My to
Christmas
Long before the world
knew Christ, man associated
the light of the candle with
spiritual longings. The Old
Testament refers frequently
to the candle as a symbol of
spiritual light.
The Christians were quick
to adopt the candle as a sym-
bol especially suitable to
their beliefs. Thus the can-
dle is close to the heart of
Christmas. It is a beloved
tradition in many aspects:
candles in the • windows to
light the coming of the
Christ-Child on Christmas
Eve; the Christmas candle-
light service; candles on the
Christmas tree for centuries,
before they were replaced,
for safety’s sake, by electric
bulbs.
And because Christ had
referred to Himself as the
Light of the World, and as-
serted that every Christian
was a light, the Christians
naturally placed candles on
their altars to remind them
of this teaching.
For the Medieval church,
tradition dictated that can-
dles be made of beeswax.
This idea had its origin in
the belief that bees came to
earth direct from heaven.
Throughout the Middle Ages
it was common to keep
swarms of bees at religious
establishments.
Candlemas Day, still ob-
served in some churches on
February 2, was instituted in
the 11th century. On that
day, candles were blessed
^ * and Scripture was read de-
scribing the candle as the
*<r the Christians
love for the Christ that
dwells within him.
