Burns Candles Folk Lore Good Longest Luck Superstition


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Candles for Luck" transports us back to the year 1909, a time when superstitions and folk beliefs held great significance in people's lives. The image captures a group of individuals gathered around a table, each holding a candle with hopes of attracting good luck. According to tradition, it is believed that the person whose candle burns the longest will be blessed with fortune and prosperity. The flickering flames illuminate the faces of those participating in this age-old ritual, their expressions filled with anticipation and hope. The history behind this practice dates back centuries, rooted in the belief that candles possess mystical powers to bring about positive outcomes. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the enduring power of superstition and folklore in shaping human behavior and beliefs. The symbolism of light overcoming darkness resonates deeply as we witness these individuals placing their faith in something beyond themselves. Through this evocative image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported into a world where simple rituals hold profound meaning and where luck is sought through the humble act of lighting a candle. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human desire for blessings and good fortune in an uncertain world.
