Candle for Health — Meaning and Tradition
Svichka.org · 2026-09-01
A church candle is a visible sign of prayer, seen by God. A candle for health is an unceasing prayer for a person while the flame burns.
What a Candle in the Temple Signifies
The candle is a symbol: the flame is our prayer, the wax is our offering, the light is Christ. Placing a candle, we say: 'Lord, here is my prayer, accept it.'
Candle for Health
A candle for health is placed for the living: for oneself, for relatives, for friends, for soldiers. It symbolizes a plea for health, protection, and well-being.
How to Properly Place a Candle
1. Approach the icon and cross yourself. 2. Light the candle from another candle. 3. Place it on the candlestick. 4. Be silent and pray for the person. 5. Cross yourself.
