Candles have been used for generations before us and will be used generation after us.
At the funeral, you will see candles because culture to culture differs, some are a symbol of light in the darkness of losing a loved one.
Lighting a candle symbolizes bringing light to our wishes or desires. A candle can be lit as a prayer for peace or a request for healing.
Bible verses about light:
- Jesus said: I am the light of the world. Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life. John 8:12
- Jesus said: You are like light for the whole world. No one would light a lamp and put it under a clay pot. A lamp is placed on a lampstand, where it can give light to everyone in the house. Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
Whether you’re experiencing sadness, grief, or simply had a bad day, lighting a candle that reminds you of a happier time can make you feel better and not focus as much on little details of what you’re currently going through.
