Lighting a candle was a traditionally pagan way of connecting with whichever deity you honoured. Although the early Christian church tried originally to discourage the practice because of its pagan and heathen connotations, eventually it adopted it, especially in the ROman Catholic Church.
This website : http://www.gratefulness.org/lighting candles (NOTE : this link should be : http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/enter.cfm?l=eng ) is a lovely place to visit when you would like to light a candle for whatever purpose in your life. It could be to hope for something, to heal someone or to give thanks for something. THe choice is up to you.
Hope you enjoy it!
