Buy large candles for Church

There are a wide variety of candle sizes for liturgical, brotherhood and religious use. When talking about candle sizes, in general, we talk about two dimensions: diameter and length. To buy a large candle, you must take into account:

• Church candles diameter

The process of buying a candle for a Church is conditioned by the candlestick or candlestick in which it is going to be placed.

Basically, two types of supports are usually used in the candlesticks and candlesticks of our parishes and churches. The candlestick with socket support and the candlestick with spike.

The candlesticks with support in the form of a cap (support with a circular shape in which the candle is placed) it is very important to know the diameter of the cap. If we buy a candle with a diameter greater than the cap, it will be impossible to insert the candle correctly. Whereas, if the socket is much larger than the candle, the candle will not be held effectively and could fall off.

The candlesticks with support in the form of a spike (port with a pointed shape in which the candle is stuck) the diameter is not so critical as long as the candle has a minimum width that allows the spike to be inserted completely into the body of the candle.

• Length of the church candles

The total length that a candle measures is the measurement that goes from the base of the candle to the place where the wick is placed. For this dimension, only the part of the wax is taken into account, without the wick. For example, in this case, a candle that measures 8 cm. in diameter by 30 cm. long, it means that it is 30 cm. from the base of the candle to the top of the wax. Regardless of the size of the wick.

In the purchase of candles, it is essential to keep in mind the length for several reasons.

The first thing that must be taken into account is the measure that is usually used in the Church. In most parishes and sanctuaries, candles of a certain length are often lit depending on where they are lit. For example, it is quite common for 25 or 30 cm candles to be placed on the main altar long. But there is a great variety of preferences regarding this.

Secondly, it is very important to analyze the design of the candlestick support where the candles will be placed. If the chandelier is capped, consider whether the cap is deep enough for the length of the candlestick. The greater the length of the candle that we are going to burn, the greater the depth of the cap should be. If the candlestick is spiked, the length of the spike should be studied in relation to the length of the candle.

The design of the foot of the candlestick must also be considered. There must be a ratio between the size of the base of the candleholder and the combined height of the candle holder with the candle. In table candlesticks with small candles it does not have special relief, but in foot candlesticks that support large candles it could be dangerous. A base with insufficient area could cause the sail to balance and fall.
