00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.

00:09This weekend in the celebration of Silulog Festival in Cebu, not only thousands of devotees and tourists came to celebrate,

00:15thousands of candles were saved in one of the most popular attractions in the province.

00:20What is this for?

00:22A few days after the celebration of Silulog Festival in Cebu,

00:28this is what happened to the visitors of Magellan's Cross.

00:32Thousands of colorful candles were saved inside it.

00:35The candles were allied by the devotees to the Child Jesus.

00:38Every color of the candle is symbolized.

00:40Yellow is good health, green is success, pink is love, but most of them are red.

00:46Red is a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ and love.

00:49For my health, I am sick, but now I am fine.

00:53According to Basilica del Santo Niño, which is located in Magellan's Cross,

00:57it has been a long time since the devotees left a candle here during the celebration of the Child Jesus.

01:02Instead of lighting the candle in the basilica itself,

01:05the devotees left the candle in Magellan's Cross to avoid the fire.

01:11The candles are collected by the residents of the basilica to light it and sell it.

01:15The abundant funds are said to be a great help to the scholars of their foundation.

01:21Brother Kim, when was the first time you used candles?

01:26Brother Kim, what is it?

01:28Candles give light more than 5,000 years ago.

01:32The first candles were made of deodeum papyrus,

01:35which is repeatedly soaked in tallow or animal fat and beeswax.

01:39Ancient Romans credit or believe that they invented these.

01:42But there are some evidences that the ancient Egyptians used wick candles,

01:46Japanese and Chinese.

01:48But did you know that candles were not the only thing that served as light there?

01:51In times when time was not yet popular,

01:54candles also served as a timekeeper.

01:56There are lines or markings on the sides and the time is measured based on the speed of the burning of the candle.

02:01In Hong Kong, you can find the largest collection of candles in the world,

02:05which consists of 6,360 candles.

02:08The town of Silangkabiti holds the Guinness World Record for the longest line of candles lit in relay.

02:14621 people helped to break this record in 2023.

02:19Congratulations!

02:22Did you know where you can find the tallest wax candle in the world?

02:37holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest wax candle in the world.

02:41It is 24.38 meters tall and has a diameter of 2.59 meters.
