Four candles represented Peace, Faith, Love, and Hope. Peace and Faith extinguished their flames as they felt unnecessary in a world filled with anger and fighting. Love also extinguished, feeling unwanted. A child entered and cried seeing the unlit candles, not understanding their importance. The candle of Hope explained it could relight the others. With Hope still burning, the child did so, learning the greatest things are Love, Peace and Faith, and Hope keeps them lit.
