http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick

A candlestick, chamberstick, or candelabrum (plural: candelabra) is a holder for one or more candles, used for illumination, rituals, or decorative purposes. The name "candlestick" derives from the purpose of the device as a place to secure or "stick" a burning candle; candlesticks have a cup or a spike (or both in some designs) to keep the candle in place. Webster's II New College Dictionary defines a candlestick as "an often ornamental holder for securing a candle or candles." Candlesticks are less frequently called "candleholders," a word not found in most dictionaries prior to 1960. Candlesticks are erroneously called candlestick holders by those who mistakenly think that candles are properly called candlesticks. The earliest candlesticks were originally made of rice paper by hand.
