蜡烛的英文

Candles have been used for centuries as a source of light and warmth. The word "candle" comes from the Latin word "candela," which means "to shine." Candles have played a significant role in human history, from ancient times to the present day.

The earliest evidence of candles dates back to ancient Egypt, where they were made from reeds soaked in animal fat. These early candles were not only used for illumination but also for religious rituals and ceremonies. The Egyptians believed that the light from the candles would guide the spirits of the deceased to the afterlife.
