Light A Candle

Light a Candle
In the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre

“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts.” - Proverbs 20:27

Millions of pilgrims visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and light candles as a means of connecting with the divine.
Now you can, too.
From anywhere in the world.

Bring the light of God forth to shine in the darkness of the world, our hearts, and our minds.
With each candle you light, a donation will be given on your behalf to charity.

Christ said: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
- Matthew 5:14-16

Send your prayer and light a candle at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A priest will perform the benediction on the candle before it is lit.
You can also choose to light a candle weekly.
Each Sunday we will light a candle in your honor in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

In addition to lighting a candle, we will also print out your prayer and place it on the Stone of Anointing, on your behalf.
On the day that your candle is lit we will photograph the candle and your prayer on the stone and email it to you.

Give the Gift of LIGHT
Give a candle as a gift and
we will send you the candle after it has been lit.
Your candle will come in a special, personalized olive wood box, along with a certificate detailing the date that the candle was lit along with your prayer or dedication.

“For you will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.” - Psalms 18:28
