candle ceremony
Symbolic lighting event
A candle ceremony is a ritual involving the lighting of candles to mark a significant occasion—weddings, memorials, religious services, or organizational initiations.
In weddings, couples often light a unity candle together, symbolizing two lives joining.
Memorial services use candle ceremonies to honor the deceased: The vigil ended with a candle ceremony for the victims.
Sororities and fraternities commonly incorporate candle ceremonies into their traditions.
