There is no record of it in the bible or any apostolic writings. The custom first became popular in the second half of the 20th century in American Protestant weddings. The origins are unclear, however the use of a unity candle in a 1981 episode of ''General Hospital'' may have helped to popularize the practice. Dr Michael Portelli is credited with the idea of a Marriage Candle, and used it in his own wedding in the 1980s (Melb, Aus). This consisted of the Mother from each side of the couple each lighting a family candle. The bride and groom both light their own taper from their family candles and come together to light their Wedding candle as one flame. This symbolises the two individuals coming from separate families and becoming one in Marriage. Symbolism Use of a unity candle generally sy ...
