From earliest Christian times,
candles were places in tombs
and before shrines and statutes.
By this action, Christians expressed
their faith by requesting a favor or
giving thanks for one received.
A departed loved one can be
remembered in this manner.
When we must be busy
with daily life,
the flame burning is symbolic of
our prayer and presence.
