I Lit A Candle

I found a website where you can light a candle. In many countries lighting a candle is a sacred action. When words fail, or you feel helpless or hopeless. something as seemingly insignificant as lighting a candle will make things seem a little better.

When I visited the site, there were 5,244 candles lit from 80 different countries. I'm sure for many, many different reasons.

You can light your own candle here. You can view different candles and read what the lighter wrote as a dedication. Each candle will continue to "burn" for 48 hours and you can watch as it "burns" down, just as a real candle does.
