EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, titled "Angels Lights Candles," captures a cherished moment from the late 19th century Christmas tradition. Dated circa 1880, the image brings to life the magical and mystical essence of the holiday season. The scene unfolds in a cozy, candlelit room adorned with holly and ivy, where an ethereal angel figure stands before a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The tree, adorned with delicate glass ornaments, shines brightly against the dark background, casting a warm and inviting glow throughout the space. The angel, with its delicate wings spread and a gentle smile upon its face, reaches out to light each candle on the tree with a tender touch. The candles, with their soft, flickering flames, add to the enchanting atmosphere, creating a scene that seems to have been lifted straight from a fairytale. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Christmas customs during the Victorian era. At a time when electricity was not yet widely available, candles were the primary source of light for Christmas trees. The tradition of having an angel atop the tree, symbolizing the announcement of the birth of Jesus, dates back to the 16th century. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of family and togetherness during the holiday season. The warm, inviting atmosphere and the gentle touch of the angel's hand as it lights each candle represent the love and care that is at the heart of Christmas celebrations. In this moment, frozen in time, we are transported back to a simpler era, where the magic of Christmas was found in the simple pleasures of family, love, and the gentle glow of candles on a Christmas tree.
