wedding candles

Unity flame holders

Wedding candles are ceremonial tapers used in marriage rituals, particularly in Christian traditions.

In Orthodox and some Catholic ceremonies, the couple holds lit candles throughout the service, symbolizing faith and the light of Christ.

Unity candles, where bride and groom light a single flame from two separate candles, represent the joining of two families into one.
