Ditto on the origin[edit]
Why are they named Roman Candles?
My grade 11 history teacher told us that I believe it was Nero back in Rome who prosecuted Christans, and he was so crazy that he liked to burn Christians alive, hence the name.
Why plural?[edit]
Shouldn't this article redirect to Roman candle and be re-written to be singular? That is wiki-convention, is it not? —Frecklefoot 16:50, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
What's the origin of the name? Does it refer to Roman Catholics being burned at the stake? Deb 19:50, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
One can infer that the housing represents a Christian circa 64 A.D. and that the ignited charge symbolizes that Christian's soul's ascent into heaven. But this is inference. Further research is necessary. PCB —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.162.156 (talk) 01:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Second picture[edit]
Personally, I believe the second picture should be removed. First, it does not show any benefit more than the first picture. Also, the person in the picture is using unsafe practices, including holding a firework in his hand that is almost always labeled "Do Not Hold In Hand," as well as wearing unsafe clothing for using fireworks. 71.0.221.41 (talk) 19:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Interesting. I think the first picture should be removed; It's not actually depicts a roman candle. 124.168.135.216 (talk) 09:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
