Candles have been used as a symbol of the spiritual enlightenment of Jesus Christ since the earliest Church days.

With love in Christ.

i learned that when you light a candle and say a prayer, as long as the candle is burning the prayer is being heard

For me it just focuses prayer. There are different candles that represent different things, much as in Buddhism there are different Buddha's that represent different things to meditate on.
