votive candles
Small devotional flames
Votive candles are small candles, typically in glass holders, placed in churches or shrines as offerings accompanying prayers or devotions.
The term comes from the Latin for "vow," reflecting the tradition of lighting a candle when making a religious petition or giving thanks.
Outside religious contexts, votive candles have become popular decorative items, their small size and contained flames making them ideal for creating ambient lighting at dinners, weddings, and other gatherings.
