👉 The word "colonial candle" refers to a small, portable candle used as an oil lamp or light source during colonial times in Europe. It was often made from oak wood, wax, and charcoal, and had a handle for easier manipulation. The candles were usually lit by a light bulb or other incandescent device. While not widely known today, the word "colonial candle" has its place in many stories from the Bible and is an important symbol of hospitality and community among early colonists.
