Sepulchre Candle Prayers in the Holy Land
A wonderful way to start the New Year would be to pray for your loved ones with a candle in the Holy Land. There are some different packages for these prayers. You could have them pray and they will send pictures of your prayers. This is very reasonably priced, I think. If you would like to keep the candle or gift the candle in a wooden box, it is more expensive, but these could be a meaningful gift for a loved one--especially the person who has everything already.
From their page:
We invite you to share your prayer
request(s) with us so that we can intercede with you and take your
concerns before the Lord in prayer. As you can see on our website, we
offer several ways to do this.
This page profiles how we would
consider it an honor to light a candle and pray on your behalf (or the
person you designate) during a special ceremony in the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre. Your candle can be lit in honor of a loved one now in
heaven or as part of a focus on you, your needs, or the needs of a loved
one.
Your prayer request can be sent to us when you place your
order. Note: If you desire, you can request that we read one of the
prayers listed HERE along with the prayer request you send with your
order.
During the candle lighting ceremony in the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, we will light your candle, hold your printed prayer
request near the Stone of Anointing, read your request(s), and intercede
for you in prayer.
Our staff will photograph the ceremony, blow out your candle after a time of prayer, and email photos to you.
Those
who order the Gift of Light candle will have their candle shipped from
Jerusalem in a beautifully crafted olive wood box made in Israel.
God does not command believers to
light candles in a church, but the practice is an expression of faith
that commemorates and celebrates the work of Christ. In lighting
candles, we profess our faith and acknowledge that Jesus, the “Light of
the world,” is the one who cares (1 Peter 5:7), forgives (1 John 1:9),
and answers prayers (Matthew 7:7).
Rituals and ceremonies are
not requisites to prayer, but they hone our focus and remind us of the
timeless and unchangeable aspects of the faith. As we light candles, we
reflect on the Light who came into the world and taught us how to pray
(Matthew 6; John 17) and how we are to pray for others.
The
miracle of Holy Fire in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre makes the
candle-lighting ceremony even more precious as it reminds the faithful
that long ago, a glorious light appeared in the tomb where the friends
placed the body of Jesus. That light, witnessed in the first Church of
the Holy Sepulchre many centuries ago, has remained one of the mysteries
of these hallowed grounds through the ages.
Christians are to
pray, love the Light, and shine their light. We also believe the Candle
and Prayer services we provide help individuals move toward fulfilling
these objectives.

Thank you to Frontgate Media and Candles in Jerusalem for praying for me with candles in the Holy land. I found this to be a beautiful and meaningful experience. I am a little late in posting about it so can't share my personal prayer photos as my family has had COVID the past couple of weeks.
