Lighting a candle is part of what is known as popular piety, in other words, the devotion of the people.
This gesture can express thoughts or feelings that are sometimes difficult to articulate. The candle brings light, warmth, and serves to express what is important to humanity.
Following the fire on April 15, 2019, Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris is closed.
However, during the restoration, the chaplains of Notre-Dame take special care to light this candle at the foot of the statue of the Virgin. They entrust her with the prayer you communicate.
This statue is currently visible in the Church of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois (75001 Paris).
