What Is The Paschal Candle
This is called a Paschal Candle or an Easter candle. It’s a symbol of Christ, who is the light of the world. It’s brought into the church for the first time at the Easter Vigil, lit, and it fills the darkness of the church with Christ’s light. We also use it at baptisms—that’s where our baptismal candles are lit from—and it appears once again at our funerals. It’s a reminder to everybody that it is in our baptism and through our baptism that we have hope in the resurrection.
