Compare and contrast with other candle-making traditions
Candle-making in Dundee is an ancient tradition with a long history. This Scottish city is renowned for its hand-dipped beeswax candles, which have been made there for over 800 years. The process of making these candles starts with melting pure beeswax and passing it through whalebone wicks before rolling them into the distinctive shape. These candles are then wrapped in cotton bindings or hung on wooden frames to be used as fuel for lighting and heating homes.
In comparison to Dundee’s candle-making tradition, other traditions around the world use different materials and methods to make their candles. For example, in Germany, stearin wax is often used to make traditional ‘bee hive’ shaped candles which are made by dipping cloth bundles into molten wax repeatedly until the desired size and shape is achieved. In Russia, tallow (rendered animal fat) is used to create cylindrical rolled candles while para-soy wax is popular in Japan where transparency and flavor are often desired qualities.
One similarity between these candle-making traditions from around the world is that regardless of the material used or method followed, many cultures incorporate religious symbols or symbols of luck when making these items for certain occasions or festivals. Another common thread between all candle-making traditions globally is that it requires considerable skill and patience to achieve quality results that can produce flames of a steady intensity which are also smokeless.
