Votive candles
But there’s one simple candle that holds a very important role in our history and culture. It’s called the votive candle. This small candle made of beeswax is devoid of any special carving. Moreover, there aren’t a lot of colors that you can choose from, as votive candles will usually be either yellow or white. Nevertheless, if you’re a practicing Christian or you are in a specific religion, it is a staple.
Votive Candles in Religion
Votive candles can be found in Roman Catholic Churches. The candles symbolize veneration and adoration.
One of the reasons for lighting votive candles is to offer a prayer. What you can do is to light a votive candle and say a silent prayer. The candle will then stand for your intention, and hopefully, your prayer will be heard.

Executive Summary about Votive Candle by Peter Clark
If you want a small candle, votives are what you need to look for. First you will need the proper wax for the candle. In addition to having the wax to make a candle, votives need special molds. You don’t need to use any fragrances if you want unscented votive candles, but you can add whichever scents you want if you prefer to have a scent on your candle. For example, you can use a pre-tabbed votive wick, a cotton core waxed wick or wick clips.
In order to have little difficulty releasing the votive candle from the mold, you can buy silicone spray. Just spray the mold before you pour in the wax to make the candle. Candle fragrance is also optional because many people are allergic to scents and prefer the unscented votive candles.
Otherwise, you may have lopsided unscented votive candles.
When it comes to candles, votives are by far the most popular.
