Paschal Candle|逾越蠟燭:同一根復活節之光會一路出現在洗禮與葬禮,跨過生命兩端
WHAT 這是什麼
The Paschal candle is a large white candle blessed and lit at the Easter Vigil as a sign of the risen Christ. It remains prominent during the Easter season and is also used at rites such as baptisms and funerals, often being kept near the baptismal font outside that season.
WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界
一根蠟燭把不同人生節點穿起來:復活節、進入教會的洗禮與死亡送別並不是三個互不相干的場合,而被同一束光連成一條時間線。
BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角
不同 Catholic parishes 對非復活期的擺放與細節可能有地方差異;本條不把所有 Christian candle symbolism 都歸於 Paschal candle。
