[edit] Ditto on the origin

Why are they named Roman Candles?

My grade 11 history teacher told us that I believe it was Nero back in Rome who prosecuted Christans, and he was so crazy that he liked to burn Christians alive, hence the name.

[edit] Why plural?

Shouldn't this article redirect to Roman candle and be re-written to be singular? That is wiki-convention, is it not? —Frecklefoot 16:50, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

What's the origin of the name? Does it refer to Roman Catholics being burned at the stake? Deb 19:50, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)
