Paschal Candle
You know you have a lot of funerals in your parish when Easter brings a paschal candle like this!

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
That certainly puts my parish's paschal candle to shame. Although, it was 51% beeswax (I've seen fake paschal candles, believe it or not).
ReplyDeleteMy parish breaks out the 51% beeswax candles only for very special events, i.e. Christmas (they come out on Christmas Eve and this year they stayed up throughout Christmas, since it was so short) and the Easter Octave. The candles on either side of the main altar and the side altar remain fake, but additional candles are placed behind the main altar on either side of the crucifix.
nice photo, Fr. C! i should be there tomorrow for the first funeral of the Easter season. see you soon! PEACE! ~tara t~
ReplyDeleteYou just can't beat beeswax for that authentic smell of church!
