I think selling candles is a good idea because they are useful both as a source of light and a pleasant aroma in the event of a power outage. Scented candles are a personal favorite of mine.
Yes, it is a very lucrative business and many buy candles on Sundays and at other special events. like Holy Week and masses.

My cousin became wealthy because of his candle factory. He is the sole supplier of candles in the entire region. It's because he has quality candles not easy to melt unlike other candle makers very weak.
 
It could be a very wonderful business that you would want to venture into because you're going to make profit from it if you have a better location.
Location plays vital role to become successful in the business. The more people, the more chances of getting more sales.

With introduction of rechargeable things it seems the demand for candle has reduced because people now use rechargeable lamps. people are really making money off it now so it all good

This business is very profitable. I have been thinking about doing this kind of business in my country as no one is doing it and the market is largely available in my locality.

In Africa, where we still have issues with electricity, people still use candles to illuminate their homes at night. I bought one stick of candle yesterday. It might still be profitable for some time to come.

I think candle making is not so much lucrative as it was in the olden days. This is because there are so many alternatives to generate light now and people do not need candles much again.

It depends though, not everyone make use of candles, especially now that there are rechargeable lights and even generators in case of power failure. But there some places that makes use of candles though, like you mentioned church. Even the type of candle used for cakes.
