I have to say i have made candles and read about the history of candle but i have learned more from this two video than any book. may it still be going when i am old and gone to glory may it still be going when the good Lord comes back for all who will be saved. You just got a feeling in watching this video that the place is filled with Gods love. Blessings to all who made these video and all that where in it. May family keep it going long into the further. I for one will give thanks to all in Dublin for the history of candles that is still going strong.
What a lovely video on traditional candle making,its what the modern world of today is missing. May the Irish candle Chandlers be making candles so next generations to come, true art.
Quality control is most assuredly a "thing of the past." By today's standards in 2019, these candles would cost a small fortune because of the necessary manpower and time to produce these candles. Unfortunately people do not want to pay high prices so everything to be made is shipped off to another country where it can be manufactured more inexpensively, therefore the quality suffers. People wanting products cheaply have been the demise of these craftsmen. Some of us are still willing to pay the higher price for quality items.
Thank you for such a wonderful documentary, so very pleased to know the company still going strong after all those years, must be one of the oldest companies in existence. Great tradition and wonderful workers and fabulous products, the last red candle I bought was only a coloured outer coating so definitely not from these folk!
That was very nice. I really enjoyed this. Looks like the Dublineers have everyone beat for making the best candles in the world. At least, I'd say so.
I used to live next door to a candle maker and at the time I had several bee hives on my property. Every now and then I would notice that the hives had been tampered with. I approached the guy next door and asked him where he got the raw materials for his candles, he replied "it's none of your beeswax" and slammed the door in my face.
Says my aul one to your aul one are ye goin to the Waxies Dargle Says your aul one to my aul one sure I haven't got a farthing. Dublin candle makers were known as "Waxies". They used to get together once a year and take a day trip out to Bray.. This became known as the Waxies Dargle with the river Dargle running through Bray. And then some tulip wrote a song about it..
Sorry, it wasn't mystical reason for the Catholics.The option was to have candles made from rendered animal fat which gave off a lovely odour and smoked more than bees wax.. They wouldn't have that in Church

I want a couple of those long beeswax candles.
I loved the comment about the electric candles not coming on and shutting down your intention before you made it.
An endearing look at an ancient craft...makes me wonder who was the first to figure out how to make them...???
Thanks. Good bless land of Ireland and his people forever. Love from Iran.
The narrator is Eamonn Mac Thomais, i'm sure of it. It is certainly NOT Ronnie Drew
I thought it might be Benny Hill!
I see that they still exist !!

Bravo!

On the 'Lalor' candle website, they say that they exist since 1910 !
Well that's confusing if you were to watch this video you would think that the company is over 500 years old!?!?

Says your aul one to my aul one sure I haven't got a farthing.

The first man in the video looks like Robert Shaw.

Candle flames attract spirits. The whole idea of lighting at candle for someone is to bring them to the feet of the Lord or a saint.

The atrocities committed against my language in this video will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Back in the days when priests used their nobs like candles, and nobody batted an eye lid.
