A candelabra is a device used to hold church tapers, tallow or wax candles and usually consists of a foot and stem which may then be divided into several branches. The candelabra sometimes has a bobeche, like a small cup which holds the candle; or a bowl surmounted by a spike (the candle spike).
A candlestick, on the other hand, is a short candelabra which consists of a plate and a small candle cup. It has a handle or thumb ring loop which makes it easy to carry.
Although they were abandoned in favour of electric lighting, it would seem that candles are much more than just an emergency light source. They are making a comeback both inside and outside the home. Candelabras and candlesticks are both practical and decorative objects which create an attractive play of light and shadow. They can be used for contemplation or meditation during religious ceremonies or spiritual rituals. If you're after a more intimate setting and subdued lighting, they can help create a warm and romantic atmosphere.
The candelabra is now back in fashion and is available in a variety of forms, embracing new shapes, aesthetics and uses, often bearing no resemblance to the traditional candelabra.
