The Candleabra is used as a support for candles, made with several arms or branches. Though most used and developed during the Renaissance, the candelabrum originated in Etruria and Rome. Candelabra found in Etruscan and Pompeiian ruins are usually of bronze. From ancient Rome come the tall and monumental candelabra used in temples and public buildings. Of bronze or marble, they had triangular pedestals from which rose columnar shafts, finely sculptured and terminating at the top in a bowl used for holding illuminating oil and incense. With these as inspiration, Italian Renaissance artists produced superb candelabra in rich materials for altars, chapels, and processions.

Paschal Candles
A candle is a cylinder of wax or tallow containing a wick, used for illumination or for ceremonial purposes. Early translations, though inconclusive for the word candle may have been torch or lamp and the "candlestick" was probably a stand for one of these lights. Now we also have candle lighters, consecration candle holders, many versions of candelabras and different accessories for the candle.
The Paschal candle is sometimes referred to as the "Easter candle" or the "Christ candle." The term "Paschal" comes from the word Pesach, which in Hebrew means Passover.
