The church candle is a symbol of our spiritual union with the Church. Candles are a sign of voluntary sacrifice to God and His temple, an expression of a person’s readiness to obey God (the softness of the wax) and a symbol of the desire for deification, transformation into a new creature (the burning of a candle). A candle is also evidence of faith, a person’s involvement in the Divine light; it signifies the warmth and flame of a person’s love for the Lord, the Mother of God, an Angel or a saint, at whose faces the candle is placed. The history of the custom of lighting candles and lamps during prayer, the meaning of this action is described in this brochure. Published according to the publication: Instructions for the Orthodox Christian about the church candle. – M.: Moscow courtyard of the Holy Trinity Sergius Lavra; "New Book", 1996.
