Sacred votive light
A devotional candle is a candle lit as an act of prayer or religious observance, typically in churches, shrines, or home altars.
Catholic and Orthodox traditions use them prominently—the flickering flame symbolizes prayer continuing after the person leaves: She lit a devotional candle for her grandmother.
Votive candles are a common type, often placed before statues of saints.
