What Lighting the Candle Symbolizes

According to Orthodox tradition, a candle is kept lit in our home as a sign of respect and honor to God, the Virgin Mary, and the saints. Lighting a candle is a practice with deep Christian symbolism, as this particular light is compared to the Light of Christ, which illuminates every person, while reminding us that we, as Christians, must be the light of the world.

The candle reminds us that our lives should be as bright as the saints, it illuminates our space and drives away evil, while serving as an offering of gratitude through which we thank God for life, for salvation, and for all that He grants us through His infinite love. Additionally, the oil used in the candle, which must be high-quality olive oil, symbolizes the infinite mercy of God, while the candle itself represents the Church.
