The term 'Cathedral CANDLE' is a combination of two words, 'Votive' and 'CANDLE'. Votive candles are typically used in religious ceremonies and are often placed in front of statues or altars. They are usually made of wax and have a wick that is lit to symbolize prayer or devotion. Cathedral Candles are larger than votive candles and are used in cathedrals and other large churches. They are usually made of beeswax and are lit during special services or ceremonies.
