vigil light
Sanctuary flame offering
A vigil light is a small candle kept burning as an act of devotion or remembrance, typically in churches or at shrines.
Worshippers light them while offering prayers for the living or dead.
The flame symbolizes ongoing prayer or spiritual presence even after the person has left: She lit a vigil light for her grandmother.
