A Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is a deeply moving and cherished tradition that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. As the congregation gathers on this sacred night, the service often includes scripture readings recounting the Nativity story, beloved Christmas carols, and heartfelt prayers. The highlight comes when the sanctuary lights are dimmed, and the flame from the Christ candle is passed through the congregation, illuminating the room with the soft glow of candles.
This act symbolizes the light of Christ entering the world, dispelling darkness, and bringing hope, peace, and love to all. As each person holds their candle, it serves as a reminder of our call to carry the light of Christ into the world. The Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is a beautiful reflection of the joy, unity, and divine love that Christmas represents.
