1. candlestick

   A candlestick, also often referred to as a taper, is a holder for a single candle, typically made of metal or wood. These holders are designed to collect any melting wax dripping from the candle, preventing it from spilling onto the surfaces below. In a broader context, candlestick also refers to a style of chart used in technical analysis to study price movements in financial markets, where it visually depicts the opening, high, low, and closing prices within a specific time period.

1. Candlestick

   A candlestick, chamberstick, or candelabrum is a holder for one or more candles, used for illumination, rituals, or decorative purposes. The name 'candlestick' derives from the fact that it is usually tall and stick-shaped. Candlesticks are also called candle holders. However, not all candle holders are candlesticks unless they are tall and stick-like. Candlesticks are often and erroneously called candlestick holders by those who think that the candles themselves are the candlesticks. Candlesticks were originally made of rice paper by hand. Although electric lighting has phased out candles in many parts of the world, candlesticks and candelabra are still used in some Western countries homes as a decorative element or to add atmosphere on special occasions. Before the proliferation of electricity services, candles were brought into the bedroom using chambersticks, which were shorter than ordinary candleholders and furnished with a wide pan to catch the wax drippings. Candles and candlesticks are also used frequently in religious rituals and for spiritual means. In Jewish homes, two candles are lit to mark the beginning of the Sabbath on Friday night. Hence, candlesticks are often on display. A seven-branched candelabrum, known as the Menorah, is the national symbol of the State of Israel, based on the candelabrum that was used in the Temple in Jerusalem in ancient times. Another special candelabrum found in many Jewish homes is the Hanukiah, the Hanukkah menorah. The hanukiah has holders for 8 candles, plus an extra candle for lighting the others.
