The Bible already records their existence and the prominence of these objects, which were used to provide light in times of darkness. Throughout history, they have been used to illuminate the rooms of the highest social classes. They were more of a necessity than a luxury. With the advent of electricity, they became objects of luxury and ornamentation.
A whole philosophy is contained in the candelabra, which have thus become objects of worship.
