The significance of the candle with Easter Day

Easter Day.
A day where all Christians around the world rejoice with the resurrection of the Lord on this day.
The night before Easter , Easter Vigil is celebrated by the Catholic Church.
A big candle lighted by the priest signifies God's light into the world.
In the dark church stands many people holding an unlit candle.
This signifies the world before creation.
Then the priest enters with the candle and the altar servers light their candle from it.
That signifies God's light being given to the people.
And from that the servers move around and light the candle of the people and everyone spread it on.
That signifies people sharing God's love and light for us.
Whenever the candle of someone goes out he/she looks for someone to light their candle back.
That is similar to us whenever we are down and under, we need someone to enlighten us so we look for help.
So that is how God's love and light in the world is spread among us.
On Easter Day we rejoice and are happy.
Let us continue to share this wonderful thing.

I tell you dear readers that there is nothing like a dark place filled with lighted candle.
It is such an amazing sight that you don't get to see all the time.
And in that darkness with the light of the candles we sing like a choir that makes it even more enlightening.
This is how great we humans can be if we are one.
There is nothing as great as being one and having no conflicts with one another.
So I wish everyone all the best and Happy Easter.
God Bless.
