'''Candle''' ([[Spanish]]: vela, [[French]]: bougie, [[German]]: Kerze, [[Greek]]: κερί) is a light source consisting of a string (the wick) enveloped by a slow-burning substance. Before the [[electricity]] era, the candle was a common source of lighting. The candle can be made of [[paraffin]], [[stearin]], [[beeswax]], gel (a mixture of [[resin]] and mineral oil), or some plant waxes (like [[palm]] or [[soy]]). In 1834, Joseph Morgan began to industrialize the production of candles.
