Paschal Candles and Paschal Candle Stands

The Paschal candle is a large, symbolic candle used in Christian liturgy, primarily during the Easter season. It represents the light of Christ, signifying His resurrection and victory over death. Lit at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, the Paschal candle remains illuminated throughout Eastertide, often until Pentecost. Decorated with the year, the Alpha and Omega symbols (Christ as the beginning and end), and the five wounds of Christ, the candle serves as a powerful visual reminder of Christ's life, death, and resurrection in the Christian faith.
