When does lighting the Paschal Candle during Mass end? At our church the priest said it no longer has to be lit after Mercy Sunday except at funerals, etc.). Thank you.
The paschal candle has its proper place either by the ambo or by the altar and should be lit at least in all the more solemn liturgical celebrations of the season until Pentecost Sunday, whether at Mass, or at Morning and Evening Prayer.
