Paschal Candle at Exposition

[Colinus16]

Hello, I just wanted to ask if the paschal candle should be lit at Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during Paschaltide. Someone said it was was a duality of symbols and it should not be lit even though it is paschaltide. My belief is that the real presence exposed in the monstrance is real, not a symbol and that the paschal candle is a symbol and just that.
Thanks and God Bless, Colin Vautrinot

Colinus16:

Someone said it was was a duality of symbols and it should not be lit even though it is paschaltide.

That someone should be very mindful that the Eucharist is not a symbol but the real presence of God.

I see no reason for not having the Paschal candle light during Adoration especially during this time of Easter.

I agree, during Easter time, the Paschal candle should always be lit. Outside of Easter, the usual times it is lit is during the sacrament of Baptism and during funeral masses.
