The dove and water on an 18 cm white Baptism candle

The dove recalls the Holy Spirit, while the flowing lines evoke the water poured over the person being baptised. The cross places this new beginning under the sign of Christ. This religious candle can accompany the ceremony and afterwards become part of a family prayer space, where its symbols continue to tell the story of the sacrament.

Kept with other reminders of the child’s Baptism, this candle can later help parents and godparents tell the story of that celebration. It becomes a simple way of remembering that Baptism begins a life of faith meant to continue through prayer and life within the Church.
