    UP FOR AUCTION IS A LIFE SIZE HAND OF GLORY DISPLAY.
    According to old
    beliefs, a candle made of the fat from a malefactor
    who died on the gallows
    , lighted, and placed (as if in a candlestick) in the Hand of Glory, which comes from the same man as the fat in the candle, this would render motionless all persons to whom it was presented. The method for holding the candle is sketched in Petit Albert.
    The candle could be put out only with milk. In another version, the hair of the dead man is used as a wick, and the candle would give light only to the holder. The Hand of Glory also purportedly had the power to unlock any door it came across.
