The candles: as they burn they represent the prayers and the life of the members of the faithful as they give themselves to loving God and neighbor. 1 2 1 The candle burns and gives light. As it burns it gets used up. The candle is a symbol of Christ, the light who enlightens us and warms our hearts. He gave himself for us all. The candle is also a symbol of the Christian who brings Christ’s light in the world and who inflames his heart with love for God and neighbor. 2 The Easter Candle, or the Paschal Candle, is a symbol of the risen Christ, true light of the world who enlightens every person. It is a sign of new life in Christ who saved us from sin and has opened to us the gates of Paradise. 218 12
