To Christians, religious ceremonies are very important, and are, without exception, accompanied by candles that play a sacred role. According to Christian priests, during a baptism ceremony, three baptism candles are lit, in the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity is present at a christening ceremony, to enlighten the path of the person that is being baptized.

Christening candles should be personalised to add a personal touch to the event. In most cases, they are white, signifying the purity of the person that will welcome the Holy Spirit into his soul, and long, to be lit on some other occasions as well, not only at the baptism ceremony. And this personalisation includes various techniques that transform baptism candles from regular candles into unique and original ones.

A method of personalising christening candles is to write the name of the child somewhere at the top of the candles. Below the child's name, its parents can choose to display various images, such as a gold cross, a cross with a dove, a blue angel, a pink angel, and many others. Below this image of their choice, they can also write the date of the baptism ceremony and the church where it will be held. Finally, if the child’s godparents agree, their first names can be written below the christening ceremony date and location.

But candles can be personalised by using other methods as well, not only by writing various things on them. Another very good method of making a baptism candle unique is by wrapping an organza or satin ribbon around the bottom of the candle. It is important to wrap the bottom of the candle, and not its top, because organza and satin are inflammable and should not come in contact with the candle flames.

If you are a lover of flowers, you could use this simple idea to embellish your or your child’s baptism candle. Create a lovely garland of roses, hyacinths, hydrangeas, lilac or any other flowers, and then tie the garland around the base of the candle. In this case, it would be recommended to use a candle holder too, to be certain that your garland will be properly seen by everyone present in the church at the baptism ceremony. Because we are talking about a religious ceremony where purity is the main characteristic, choose only pale-coloured flowers. After selecting a way of personalising your baptism candle, take into account to be in consent with the church’s requirements and personalise your candle only when you are sure that the priest agrees with your ideas.
