England - York Minster, Tea Candles on Shelves

Am really drawn to candles in churches as a subject of stills.  The brightness of the flames keeps the shutter speed fast, depth of field is more noticeable and easy to manipulate, and they are almost always in a setting that is beautiful.  Some of my favorite posts of all time feature candles.  The purpose of these things is a mystery to me, but parishioners treat the lighting and handling of them with such reverence that I do my best to stay out of the way and not distract with shutter noise, etc.
