candlelighter
Long flame wand
A candlelighter is a person who lights candles, especially in a ceremonial context—an usher at a wedding lighting altar candles, or an acolyte in a church service.
The term also refers to the tool used for this purpose: a long taper or wick on a pole that reaches candles without requiring a ladder or leaning: The altar boy carried the candlelighter down the aisle.
