Prayers to say when lighting candles

[coranewf]

Greetings everyone…

I am curious to know if there are any “specific” prayers to say when lighting candles at church?

Thank you in advance and God Bless!

I found THIS on EWTN, not sure if this helps or not.

There are two sand filled candleboxes at the Melkite Church I attend.

When I light candles before the Lord’s Icons, I say either the Jesus Prayer, or the Troparion of Lent 1. (We venerate Your most pure Icon…)

And before the Icon of theThetokos, I say either, “Most holy Theotokos,save us,” or the Angelic Salutation.
