Candles

One candle is lit on the first night, on the right hand side of the Menorah.

From the second night and on you add one candle each night. You place the candles from right to left and light them from left to right.

The white candle that is sometimes used in an Advent Wreath is the Christmas or Christ candle and it lit at the Masses starting with Christmas midnight Mass. Most Catholic Churches use only the 4 violet and rose candles during Advent and the wreath is removed from the church when Christmas decorations are put up on Christmas Eve.

The candle is lit one by one to represent the 4 days of advent.

Mishuma Saba is the name of the Kwanzaa candles. The seven candles are arranged in a special candle holder called the kinara. There are three red, one black and three green candles.

They are lit every night for all 8 nights of Hanukkah.

because it believes in the devil and wants to become the devil

It depends what candles you are asking about. The white ones used for everyday ceremonies are lit to signify the presence of the Holy Spirit. There are also special candles, such as Advent candles, that have specific meaning

Advent candles are lit for 4 week prior to Christmas. One new candle is lit every week. At Christmas, the Christ Candle is lit to show Christ's birth into the world.

I have also seen Methodists use candles as a Nativity, in Wedding's, and when singing.

The eight candles symbolize the eight days of the miracle.

The Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) under Antiochus Epiphanes (2nd century BCE), at the instigation of the Hellenizers, had forbidden various Torah-practices in Judea, such as Sabbath-observance, and pressed the Jews to offer up idolatrous sacrifices. The Hasmoneans (a family of religious Jews) fought to retake the Holy Temple, which had been seized by the Seleucids, and to enable the people to once again observe the Torah.

When they reached the Temple grounds and prepared to light the oil lamps of the Temple's menorah (Exodus ch.25), they found only one day's supply of unsullied olive oil. Miraculously, the menorah stayed lit for eight days (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), allowing enough time for new oil to be prepared and brought.

The significance of the miracle is that it demonstrated that God's presence still dwelt in the Holy Temple. This is what Hanukkah represents: the closeness to God; and the avoidance of Hellenization (assimilation).

The Torah Sages instituted the festival of Hanukkah at that time (Talmud, Shabbat 21b), to publicize the miracle (Rashi commentary, ibid). This is why we light our Hanukkah-menorahs.

The Al-Hanisim prayer which we recite during Hanukkah centers around the Hasmoneans' victory, while the candle-lighting commemorates the miracle of the oil.

It should also be noted that the main goal for which the Maccabees fought was not political independence. They fought to enable the people to observe the Torah's commandments; as we say in the Al Hanisim prayer: "the Greeks sought to cause us to forget Your Torah and leave Your statutes."

Catholics light candles during official church services (called liturgy, such as Mass) to indicate the special solemnity of the occasion. Perhaps you are also referring to those stands which have small banks of candles which people can light (usually within small glass containers, colored or not, and often called "vigil lights"). Often you can find them near a statue or icon of Mary. These are called votive candles and indicate that someone is praying about something particular, either for themselves or on behalf of someone else. The word "votive" can also refer to a promise to pray for someone, as well as a wish or desire for a certain outcome on behalf of someone, such as recovery of health. Jesus said that he was the Light of the world and told his followers that you are the Light of the world. Jesus came to shine a Light in a dark and sin filled world. His Light was Truth exposing the sin that hid in the darkness. Jesus instructed his followers to shine their Light and show the world the Truth in them also so that others would know they belonged to God as an example to those others.

Candle wax is made of molecules that primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The main types of molecules in candle wax are hydrocarbons like alkanes, which form the long chains that make up the wax. Other elements like oxygen and smaller amounts of other trace elements may also be present in candle wax.

it depends on lenght height width and the thickness and wick put into the candel sometimes their is more chemicals in a white candel than their are a colored candel depending on the brand

I'm sure it is true that different coloring agents have different degrees of flamability, but the effect would be too small to detect, since they are present in only trace amounts. Most candles are made almost entirely of parrafin and burn at the same rate - with some variation based on the size of the wick.

Candle burning is the process called oxidation. This is, it's the reaction that takes place when a gaseous material reacts with oxygen, the wax needs to change to gaseous state for the reaction to take place.

If you freeze the candle, before using it, it will burn for a longer period of time.

ANSWER

Beeswax burns very quickly.

Because exothermic change releases energy.

Why The long Flame

Candle thing? That is a bit on the vague side. I can think of several things you might be asking about:

-- the Shabbat candles, they are just called candles, and they usually sit in candlesticks.

-- the Menorah, a 7-branched candle holder symbolic of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.

-- the Hanukiah or Hanukkah menorah, a 9-branched candle holder used for Hanukkah.

-- the Havdalah candle, a braided multi-wick candle used at the end of the Sabbath.

-- the Ner Tamid (eternal light) that burns in front of the ark where the Torah scrolls are.

Yes

Something burning is generally stronger than the scent of a candle.

First, scrape off as much wax as you can using a plastic lifter, the kind you use on teflon pans. If there are indentations in the wood, use a smaller tool, even a wooden toothpick for small spaces. Try not to use metal utensils which will damage the wood. Once you have removed as much wax as possible using this method, remove the rest with hot water and soap. Fill a bowl with the hottest water you can tolerate using rubber gloves. Dip a cloth in the water and wring out the cloth before applying it to the wood. The heat in the cloth will melt the wax into the cloth. Keep doing this until the wax is gone. Dry the wood immediately with a dry cloth. When the wood is completely dry, apply a coating of oil or furniture polish depending on what type of finish is already on the mantle. If the mantle had a varathane coating, the oil or funiture polish won't be necessary. Dump the water from the bowl outside to keep the wax out of your drains. - Dave.

The seven-branched candelabrum, known as the "Menorah" and described in great

detail in Exodus, was one of the major implements first in the traveling 'Mishkan' after

the Exodus from Egypt, and later in the First and Second Holy Temples in Jerusalem.

The more recent Temple was sacked and looted by the Romans some 1,940 years ago,

in the year 70, and its implements carried off. Their whereabouts are unknown, and the

Menorah plays no significant role in Judaism except as an historical symbol, since then.

Depends on the context. Usually it is a symbol of God's presence and that Jesus is the Light of the World.
