Light a Candle & Say a Prayer
“It is impossible to imagine an Orthodox church in which candles are not lit.”
– Blessed Simeon of Thessalonica, 15th Century
“I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
– John 8:12
One of the first things most people do upon entering an Orthodox Church is to light their candle and offer prayers for one’s personal needs or that of a family member or friend, we also light candles to pray for protection and safety so that we may live this life without fear.
For those wishing to light a candle, please submit the names of your loved ones, those who are alive and/or those who have departed this life. During these times we would be happy to light the candle for you at church and offer up a prayer in the church for the names that have been submitted.
