The Easter Candle (also called the Paschal candle) is the large candle that stands on the side of the sanctuary. The Candle is blessed at Easter Vigil and is lit from the holy fire that is lit for the occasion. It represents the light of the Risen Christ. It is lit during all liturgies during the Easter season, as well as during baptisms and funerals. Candles that are given to newly baptized always take their light from the Easter Candle.
