candlelight service
Evening church ceremony
A candlelight service is a religious gathering, typically Christian, held by candlelight rather than electric lighting.
These services most often occur on Christmas Eve, with congregants holding individual candles that are lit progressively during the ceremony: We attend candlelight service every Christmas Eve.
The dim, flickering light creates an atmosphere of reverence and intimacy.
