    we rejoice in the great gi that is the Resurrecon
    that has given us our status as the Redeemed
    stretches for another 50 glorious days. As we journey
    through the Easter Season together it would be
    wonderful to connue to bask in the Light of the
    ResurrectedChrist.

    Of all the visible symbols of Easter, the Easter or
    paschal candle is by far the most important. Its rst
    recordedusewasinPaviain520,butitdidnotappear
    inRomeformanycenturiesaerthis.

    The pracce of inserng ve grains of incense and


    having the deacon carry the candle in the procession
    are menoned in the Ambrosian rite in the twelh
    century. The custom of decorang the paschalcandle
    with owers and inscripons, including the date, rst
    appearedinEngland.

    ThesymboloftheEastercandleispowerfulbecauseit
    appeals to our senses of sight, smell and touch. We
    see the impressive candle and its ame, smell the
    burningwaxandfeelthewarmthoftheame,making
    ourexperienceoftheLightofChristavividone.

    Thecandleisdecoratedwithacross,thenumeralsof
    the year, and the AlphaOmega monogram. These
    addions make the candle a kind of consecraon of
    me, a reminder of the melessness of the paschal
    mystery.AttheEasterVigil,thecelebranttracesthem

    Christ yesterday and today, the Beginning and


    the End, the Alpha and the Omega. All me
    belongstohimandalltheages.Tohimbeglory
    andpowerandthrougheveryageandforever.

    Grains of incense are tradionally inserted into the


    extremies of the cross to represent the wounds of
    Christ: By his holy and glorious wounds, may Christ
    theLordguardusandprotectus.

    The people process into the darkened church


    following the deacon or priest who carries the candle
    high. The Easter candle is thus a pillar of re leading
    usintothePromisedLand.Itisalsoapowerfulsignof
    our unity as the Body of Christ. As we light our small
    candle from its ame, we are reminded that in the
    Light of Christ we become the light of the world
    ourselves.
