An ordinary church candle is made from three standard elements: animal fat, beeswax and a wick. It would seem that the usual composition, which, in fact, it is impossible to surprise anyone now. However, all Christians sincerely believe that the power of the fire of church candles is great enough. This is due to two factors. Firstly, they directly symbolize the person himself, having a material (wax) and spiritual (wick) shell. Like all people, candles can burn, bewitch, give a little warmth. Secondly, they have a somewhat magical effect. It is believed that if you whisper any prayer and set fire to a candle at the same time, then its strength will increase. And it does not matter at all whether the worshiper is in the temple or in his home.
For a long time, a church candle has been used by people as a powerful tool of a magical nature. Despite the fact that the church, in principle, denies the existence of various bad entities that harm a person, even if they just happen to be next to him for a few minutes, many feel their presence in our world. It should be noted that they cannot endure the flame from church candles. Therefore, you can clean your home of these unpleasant guests yourself.
It is not uncommon for a church candle to help women find their happiness. Often girls with various diseases turn to the church and faith. Many, after certain prayers with lit candles, got the opportunity to become pregnant, despite the fact that doctors had long ago given up hope and ruled out the prospect of childbearing. In principle, several such examples could be called accidents if their systematic nature were not noted. So maybe candles have their own magic? Perhaps they can give people he alth, hope and faith in the future even when it seems to them that there is no way out?
There is also a belief that no one can keep the secrets of any person better than a church candle. Many people who trusted them with their secrets say that the flame answers words. Sometimes it becomes bright and restless, and, as a rule, this happens when the story is about something bad. Then it gradually calms down. It should be noted that after this it becomes easier for a person. It seems that he had a real interlocutor who understands everything and sympathizes.
The most popular is to use the cleansing properties of fire. For example, throughout the history of Christianity, such a ritual as cleansing an apartment with a church candle was widespread. It was believed that only her flame was able to burn out all the bad things that are next to a person: various negative entities, demons, even remove damage or the evil eye. However, this is not the only attraction of church candles. A photo of any such element can clearly show you that their fire is always calm, with rare exceptions. Therefore, they also have a calming effect on a person. Even if he cannot call himself a believing Christian, the presence of church candles in his house will not do harm.
