dc.description.abstractCandles were an element of controversy in the 18th century New Spain. The religious culture that had favored the overwhelming brightness maintained its vigor, but these excesses were rejected by authorities through arguments of economics and worship decency. In contrast, bishops and magistrates favored the lighting associated with devotional practices and Eucharistic worship. At the same time, candles were a symbol of ceremonial power, which was a motive for complaints among the clergy, representatives of the king, and the public.
