History of candle making
Candle making was developed independently in many places throughout history. 
Candles were used by the early Greeks to honour the goddess Artemis' birth on the sixth day of every lunar month.
Candles were made by the Romans beginning about 500 BC. These were true dipped candles and made from tallow. Evidence for candles made from whale fat in China dates back to the Qin Dynasty (221–206 BC). In India, wax from boiling cinnamon was used for temple candles.
