Ā An illuminating study of one of the Church's oldest and most symbolic rituals, Ā Candles in the Roman RiteĀ by Fr. John F. Ryan offers a theological, historical, and liturgical exploration of candle usage in Catholic worship. From the sanctuary lamp to the Easter Vigil fire, from altar candles to baptismal lights, this compact yet profound work traces the origins and meanings of candles within the Roman liturgical tradition. Ryan draws on Scripture, Church Fathers, medieval customs, and the rubrics of the Missal to explain how candles signify the presence of Christ, the light of truth, and the joy of divine celebration. He explains their role in the Mass, processions, funerals, and other sacramental moments with clarity and reverence. This book is ideal for seminarians, sacristans, liturgists, and lay Catholics seeking a deeper understanding of sacred symbolism. A quiet gem of liturgical theology, Ā Candles in the Roman RiteĀ rekindles appreciation for the beauty and depth of seemingly simple rites.Ā
