Ceremonial Candles

Description: Ceremonial Candles shows four outstretched arms in a line, receding back into the image, each hand holding a lit, tall, white candle. Behind these figures, a stained-glass window of blue and red serves as a background. The image depicts the common and traditional use of candles in Christian ceremony, especially during Christmas Eve services.
