"Candles: Illuminating Moments from Around the World" In the quiet glow of a candle, St. Therese de Lisieux's statue stands as a symbol of faith in Semur-en-Auxois, Burgundy, France. The flickering flames at East Pool Mine in Cornwall transport us back to 1892, reminding us of the miners' perseverance and dedication. Amidst the chaos of WW1, an Army Chaplain finds solace in lighting candles for fallen soldiers, honoring their bravery and sacrifice. Charles Dickens' timeless tale comes alive as we witness Scrooge's transformation by candlelight in John Leech's enchanting illustration from "A Christmas Carol. " A stunning art deco Christmas card captures the elegance and warmth that candles bring during festive celebrations in the 1920s. On a fateful day in July 1894 at Levant Mine, Cornwall, candles guided miners through treacherous tunnels with unwavering determination. The stained glass windows of Sainte Chapelle bathe Parisian worshippers in colorful hues while casting ethereal light through delicate candlelit scenes. Even amidst comedic chaos on stage during Cinderella ballet performances, Ugly Sisters attempt to dance gracefully under shimmering chandeliers adorned with countless candles. At Lourdes grotto in Hautes Pyrenees, France, flickering candles create an atmosphere of hope and healing for pilgrims seeking solace and miracles. Celebrating man's best friend with love and joy is captured by a doggy birthday cake aglow with tiny sparkling candles - a moment filled with pure happiness. Within Jerusalem's Church of Holy Sepulchre lies Jesus' tomb where faithful believers light candles to honor his life-changing resurrection throughout history. Hanukkah brings families together as young hands delicately light each candle on the menorah, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and miracles that endure.
