The four candles of Peace, Faith, and Love slowly burn out as their flames diminish, lamenting that people no longer keep them lit or find importance in them. The child, seeing the unlit candles, cries out until the final candle of Hope says it can relight the others. The child takes the Candle of Hope and relights Peace, Faith, and Love. The message is that Hope should never burn out and that we must help maintain Hope, Faith, Peace, and Love.
