   Before the inventing of wax candles the ancient Irish made their own candles. To make these candles they put resin in a special vessel for the purpose called a cam. It was a square vessel with a handle on the side and three feet like a pot. The resin was first boiled with some fat in the cam The wick was either made of rags or rushes. The piece of rags was dipped in the mixture which they called tallow and then made round by rubbing it between the two hands. This was repeated until the candle was thick enough for use. To make rush candles they peeled the skins of the rushes and dipped them in the tallow until thick. Then they left it aside until it got dry and hard.
