candlelight procession

Torchless vigil parade

A candlelight procession is a ceremonial march where participants carry lit candles, typically at night.

These processions mark solemn occasions—vigils for the dead, religious observances, or peaceful protests: Hundreds joined the candlelight procession through downtown.

The shared flames create visual unity and an atmosphere of quiet reverence.
