The Christmas Candle (2013)

Nestled within the verdant heart of the English countryside, the magical village of Gladbury thrives, protected by a centuries-old mystical legend. Once every quarter-century, an angel graces the humble candlemaker's workshop, infusing a single candle with divine power. This blessed candle, when lit and prayed upon on Christmas Eve, grants a miraculous gift to the beholder. But as the dawn of the electric age approaches in 1890, this cherished tradition is threatened. A dynamic, forward-thinking minister named David Richmond descends upon Gladbury, bearing the promise of modernization through electricity. His arrival stirs the tranquil waters of the village, challenging the antiquated customs and casting a shadow over the candlemaker's trade. Yet in the midst of this turmoil, David finds an unexpected accomplice in the form of the enchantingly skeptical Emily Barstow. As David's fervor for progress kindles a new perception of miracles—ones shaped by acts of kindness and good deeds—it inadvertently ignites a battle. The fiery candlemaker, fueled by an unwavering resolve to safeguard the legacy of the Christmas Candle, is pitted against the waves of change. However, the true test of faith occurs when the hallowed candle, the heart of Gladbury's legend, mysteriously vanishes. The collision of the miraculous and the mundane births a Christmas unlike any the village has experienced. As the celestial intertwines with the human, Gladbury is set to witness the most astonishing Christmas, where tradition and innovation clash and coalesce in a dazzling spectacle of belief and hope.
