candle. The widespread use of candles as ornaments on the altar seems to have developed from processional lights which were in earlier times placed beside or on the altar. They are lighted during liturgical services and at certain other times. The 1969 RC rite for the Baptism of Children provides that after the Baptism the child's father, godfather, or another person, shall hold a candle lit from the Paschal Candle, and some modern Anglican liturgies allow for the giving of a lighted candle to a parent or godparent (or to the child) to show that the baptized have passed from darkness to light. The E. Church follows a similar practice. Votive candles are lit before statues or shrines as a personal offering. See also ALTAR LIGHTS.
