Candles for wedding and baptism ceremonies are called lambathes in Greek.
The
candles/lambathes
are
lit at
the beginning of the service
to burn throughout the service.
St. Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, wrote in the 7th
Century: "Lambathes and candles represent the Eternal Light, and also the
light which shines from the righteous.”
The candle is
also a symbol of our burning and grateful love for God. Thus candles and
lambathes are lit at all Church services, all with a wide variety of spiritual
and symbolic meanings; for it is God Who said, "Let light shine out of
darkness," [and] Who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ (1 Cor. 4:6).
