Candles are an important part of the church environment. Candles have long been used as a way to show devotion to Christ. Lighting a candle at church has become a symbolic gesture, and many worshippers will light a candle during service, as well as forming a part of other services such as Mass, or in memory of a loved one.
In this guide we will take a closer look at:
