new candle
Pristine wax cylinder
A new candle is one that hasn't been lit yet—full length, wick intact, wax unmarred.
The phrase often appears in contexts of replacement or fresh starts: I put a new candle in the holder after the old one burned down.
Figuratively, lighting a new candle can suggest beginning again or renewing hope.
