Many people think that Jerusalem candles can be lit exclusively for Easter. This is not so. Of course, Easter is the time when the hearts of believers around the world blooms with love and joy, so it is customary to light on this day candles, pray and fill the heart even more awe, but you can light a candle in Jerusalem and other religious holidays. The solemnity of the moment does not have to influence the choice of candles, just as true faith does not necessarily require the highest monetary sacrifice or strict fasting and bodily torture. If you feel the need to light a candle and pray even in the most ordinary day, it is always possible to do so. And Jerusalem candles in this sense from the ordinary Church candles absolutely no different.

If there is such a need or want to use candles as long as possible, divide them and light one. A burning candle represents the faith and eternal life, so no matter how you light a candle in Jerusalem. Most importantly, do this with prayer and reverence.
