Let’s Learn About Candle and Lantern Symbols

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson you will know what candles and lanterns mean in our prayer space and why they are special.

The Candle in Prayer

When we light a candle, it reminds us that Jesus is the light and that God is with us. The candle welcomes God into our prayer space.

The Lantern in Prayer

A lantern is another symbol of light. It reminds us of special friends like Nano Nagle and Catherine McAuley, who shared kindness and hope.

Let’s Make a Paper Candle or Lantern!
