When it comes to religious symbolism altar candles have, according to some, three elements that relate to Jesus in the Christian Church; the candle wax symbolizing His body, the candle wick His soul and the candle flame His divinity. The number of candles lit at a religious ceremony differs but one common question is why are the seven altar candles lit during a Pontifical High Mass, the answer being that the lights are seven because seven golden candlesticks surround the risen saviour.
