It means the wick is too long and is giving off carbon as it burns. Put the candle out and let is cool. Trim the wick back to a 1/4 inch and then relight.

Burning candles isn't regulation of God yet of guy. We burn candles mutually as at prayer to remind us of that super 2d closeness , of assembly. The reminder is via us and for us. God would not care much less in case you employ incense smoke instead. what's significant is you detect meaning in what you're doing and is helped on your non secular existence. it style of feels you're actually not a Catholic or you may desire to have everyday we burn colored candles at church. the main worry-free is yellow or gold candles, the two for elegant and liturgical motives. We even have purple candles for the time of introduction, and votive candles those days activity such eye-catching colorations as green, blue, pink or maybe brown. we don't burn black candles. because of the fact the poster above explains, it is because of the fact black is quite a conglomeration of all colorations. Black candles often outcomes from left over candles of countless colorations and states of degradation, inclusive of soot. Even our candles as help to prayer would desire to particular purity and singularity of objective, some thing your ordinary black candle is wanting it. yet whilst that's what you may have adequate funds, or if an exceedingly black candle is synthetic nd is available, I won't hesitate to apply it. in the lifeless of nighttime, its black physique will meld with the encircling and we are in a position to purely see the lighted wick. that would desire to be very stable for meditation, do not you think of?

I think it means you did not trim the wick and soot was acquired. It could also have something to do with the type of material the candle was made from.
