As the ‘Christ’ candle is lighted say, ‘the first candle reminds us of the hopes of the prophets, the second of the humble birth in Bethlehem, the third of the wonder of the shepherds, and the fourth of the star that guided the Wisemen. We now light the Christ candle. We recall again that Isaiah said, ‘The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.’ This light is Jesus.
