Votive Candles

Votive candles are small, often cylindrical candles typically placed in glass holders, used in religious, spiritual, or memorial contexts. They are lit as an act of prayer, devotion, or remembrance, symbolizing intention, hope, or offering. The steady flame of a votive candle represents the persistence of faith or the presence of the divine. Their modest size makes them suitable for personal or communal rituals, and they are common in churches, shrines, and homes. Votive candles serve as a physical expression of prayer or reflection, creating a contemplative atmosphere while honoring traditions or loved ones.
