Altar candles are candles specifically used in religious ceremonies, particularly in Christian churches. They are placed on the altar, which is the central focal point of the church, and are typically used during Mass or other liturgical services.

Altar candles are often made of beeswax, although they can also be made from other materials such as paraffin. They are usually long and slender, with a tapered shape, and are often placed in candle holders or candelabras.

The purpose of altar candles is to provide light and symbolize the presence of Christ. In Christian tradition, candles represent the light of Christ, who is often referred to as the "Light of the World." The candles also serve as a reminder of the prayers and intentions of the faithful, as well as a symbol of the spiritual journey towards God.

Altar candles are an important part of the liturgical setting and are used in various religious ceremonies, such as the celebration of Mass, the sacraments, and other special services. They are often lit at the beginning of the service and extinguished at the end, symbolizing the presence of Christ throughout the worship.

In summary, altar candles are candles used in religious ceremonies, particularly in Christian churches, to provide light and symbolize the presence of Christ. They are an essential part of the ecclesiastical equipment, furnishings, and supplies used in religious worship.
