Here’s an interesting little thing that Peter stumbled across, a newsreel made by British Pathé in 1949 which shows candles being made by hand: interesting because at 1:20, you can see them making a triple candle for the Easter vigil by wrapping three separate candles around a mould while they are still soft. (Oddly, the narration at that point is talking about something else.) This is followed by some large and very beautifully decorated Paschal candles.
