Paschal Candles Light the Glory of Easter

The Paschal candle (also referred to as the "Easter candle" or the "Christ candle") is a large, white liturgical candle. Its flame symbolizes the eternal presence of Jesus among believers. He is the Alpha and Omega (The Beginning and the End) and lives eternally with His people. Every Easter, a new Paschal candle is blessed and lit. This practice is common in Western Churches. In the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine rite, the Paschal trikirion is used.

Throughout the year, the candle is sometimes relit for special occasions such as baptisms or funerals. The term "Paschal" in Hebrew means Passover. Christ was crucified shortly before the beginning of a Passover and resurrected in its aftermath. The Paschal candle is normally the largest candle in the worship space. In ancient days, some Paschal candles were immense. The Paschal candle of Salisbury Cathedral was 36 feet tall.

Understanding the Paschal Candle’s Symbolism

Holy Trinity Candle SetThe symbol of the cross is always central, identifying the candle as a Paschal candle. The Greek letters Alpha and Omega reflect Christ’s title as the Beginning and the End (from the New Testament Book of Revelation). Traditionally, five incensed nails are introduced to the candle representing the five wounds of Christ on the cross (three nails in His feet and hands, the spear into His side and the crown of thorns on His head). The flame represents the eternal presence of our Savior living forever with His people.

Today, in the United States and Southern Europe, Paschal candles are about 2 inches in diameter and three to four feet high. In Northern Europe the candles are shorter and wider. T.H. Stemper Co. has a large selection of Paschal candles in many heights and diameters to bring this wonderful element to your Easter worship celebration.
