Lighting a candle we must remember that we have to live in the light that we received with our baptism. That is why we call baptism enlightenment as well. For this reason during baptism we hold candles. This light is the fire of Pentecost, the light of the Holy Spirit. And this Light is renewed within us in our souls every time we participate in the Divine Liturgy and whenever we receive Holy Communion and we pray. That is why at the end of every Divine Liturgy we chant: "We have seen the true light! We have received the heavenly Spirit! We have found the true faith! Worshipping the undivided Trinity."
