The Paschal Candle at Ham

Here we see the lovely Paschal Candle at St Thomas Aquinas, Ham. The candle was a gift from St Boniface's German Church in the Archdiocese of Westminster. They use our parish for a Mass each Sunday at 11.30 am, and asked us if we would like to have a candle like the one in St Boniface's. How kind!

The candle is a powerful symbol of the light of the Risen Lord, and is lit at all services during the Easter Season.

Simple and lovely and the lilies are beautiful!

Yes - and much better behaved than the one in Westminster Cathedral!
