- Long ago candles were made of rushes and the rushes were dipped in tallow. First the people got a rush and took the green of it. Then they got a mould with three legs and then they got grease and put it into the mould and a small coal was put under it to melt the grease. Then they drew the rush through the grease and it was taken out and left to dry.
