The demand for candles jumps around Christmas, but as we learned from Tibor Ávár, they are no longer sought after for their original function: they are bought as gifts for various occasions (eg birthday, name day, christening) and surprise their loved ones with it. Topical now, in the Advent period, is the theme of the candle: how it is made, in what forms the raw material solidifies as it is colored – we went after all this in the workshop of the candle master. Entering the building, we were struck by pleasantly warm air and the unmistakable scent of candles. There were many variations of colors and shapes on the tables, some of them were ready, waiting to be put in a box, until they solidified into a couple of molds, another portion was waiting to be ironed, and a pile lay in a box.
