Candles on Christmas trees originally represented the light of Christ and the hope of the season. They symbolized the star of Bethlehem that guided the Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus. The use of candles also reflected the idea of bringing light into the darkness of winter, celebrating the arrival of the holiday spirit. Over time, these candles were replaced by electric lights for safety and convenience.
