Votive Candle Lighting - a photo on Flickriver

            A young mother cradles her sleeping child while lighting a prayer candle on the grounds of the Baclaran Church in Manila, Philippines.  Candles are lit for prayer intentions. To "light a candle for someone" indicates one's intention to say a prayer for another person, and the candle symbolizes that prayer.
