Easter candles
Spring liturgy flames
Easter candles are large decorated candles lit during Easter church services, symbolizing Christ's resurrection and the triumph of light over darkness.
The paschal candle—the most prominent Easter candle—is blessed at the Easter Vigil and burns throughout the Easter season.
Smaller candles may be distributed to congregants: The children carried their Easter candles in the procession.
