This candleshop is one of the oldest candle factories in all of Greece. The year of foundation is considered to be 1919 when Thomas Theocharous - Christou, a refugee from the Monastery, settled in Edessa and began to practice his art, making candles. The art developed into a business and passed on to the second generation, to the brothers Christos and Ioannis Christou. In the late 90's the baton was taken by Thomas Christou son of Ioannis, now a third generation candle maker.
