Candles

You are encouraged to light candles in the church. Lighted candles for special intentions mean that our prayer should come from the heart burning as a candle with love for our Lord. As long as a candle is lit, our prayers for that intention are ascending to God.  A lit candle is a constant prayer.

Each 6-day candle in the 2 stands in front of the iconostas is $3 a piece.

The 6-hour Votive and 1-hour tapered sandbox candles are 2 for $1.
