memorial candles
Flames for mourning
Memorial candles are candles lit in remembrance of the dead.
In Jewish tradition, a yahrzeit candle burns for twenty-four hours on the anniversary of a loved one's death.
Christian traditions light memorial candles at vigils, funerals, and shrines.
The flickering flame symbolizes the enduring presence of the departed: She lit a memorial candle for her grandmother.
