Baptism candle “Saved from the waters” – 15 x 6 cm

A ‘Saved from the Waters’ baptism candle, 15 x 6 cm, inspired by the biblical symbolism of water

Baptism marks the beginning of Christian life. Through water and the Holy Spirit, the baptised person receives God's grace and becomes a member of the Church. The expression ‘Saved from the waters’ refers to several passages in the Bible where water becomes a sign of salvation: Noah's ark, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River.

The baptismal candle, often lit during the celebration, also recalls the light of Christ. It extends the liturgical gesture in which the priest hands over a flame, saying that the baptised person is called to walk as a child of light.
