When I was growing up there were churches with those big banks of candles against one of the walls. I saw mom light one once, but I was far too young to remember much of it. I recently saw one such bank at a shrine. I wanted to explain it to my daughter who was with me, but I found myself clueless.
Could someone please explain the candle thing? Both the spiritual significance (i.e., what does it mean to light one of those candles? Why do many Catholics do it?) and practical considerations (i.e. the proper etiquette and procedure for lighting one. isn’t there some sort of money involved?).
Thanks in advance.
