Indians were lax about candles. The friars complained that in order to perform burials, marriages, and baptisms "with decency" they themselves had to provide the wax. Bishop Altamirano, too, when he confirmed the Christians of San Pedro and San Juan del Puerto in 1606, bought the wax and wrote it off as a charity (Davila, 1606). (Bushnell SS)
