Instructions for making the Easter candle
First make stencils of the motifs with which you want to design your candle. These can be of very different types. For example, they can have a religious touch, such as a lamb as a Christian symbol. By far the most common motif for a Easter candle is the cross, which has five red nails to commemorate the wounds of Jesus and the Greek letters alpha and omega. Apart from religious symbolism, the motifs can also be Easter and spring-like. Colorful flowers and small rabbits can also decorate the candle. Once you have decided on a few motifs, place the templates you have prepared on the wax sheet and cut out the motifs for your personal candle. You can then stick them on the candle in the desired arrangement.
