Glass Votive Wax Candles for Church Worship
Small flames bring a human scale to a monumental room. Glass votives repeat along the pews, echoing the warmth of the stained glass and creating a contemplative setting for worship.

- Glass votive wax candles

This church service in the United States uses glass cup votive wax candles. A consistent vessel format allows the natural variation of each flame to become the focus. This is a real-flame installation, with different operating requirements from the LED projects in this collection.
The installation approach
Choose stable, heat-suitable candle vessels and a layout approved by the church's responsible coordinator.
Use repetition to guide the eye through the interior without placing candles within reach of clothing, flowers or other combustible materials.
Plan lighting, supervision, extinguishing and removal as part of the service schedule, rather than treating them as setup details.
