Candles are often used for worshipping reasons. This is a practise common to many religions allover the word. I guess it is no coincidence then that all pictures I could find in my collection where taken in places of whorship.

whorshipping the golden rock in Kyaktiyo, Burma

Image

recycling the candles in the Duomo of Florence or how whorship can have it's commercial sides
