A votive candle or prayer candle is a small candle, typically white or beeswax yellow, as well as standard size candle of any color or scent designed to be burnt or lighted as an offering in a religious ceremony. Votive candles are lit for prayer intentions. The process of “Lighting a candle for someone” symbolizes that prayer, and the person’s intention of saying a prayer for another person.

The Virgin Mary appeared to a humble native Indian by the name of Juan Diego in a cold morning in 1531, asking him to tell the bishop, that she desired for a church to be built on the hill of Tepeyac in what’s now Mexico City. Juan Diego did as he was told but the bishop didn’t believe him, and asked him to bring proof of what he was saying. He went back to the hill where the Virgin appeared to him and he told her the bishop didn’t believe him and he required proof. She told Juan Diego to go up to the hilltop of Tepeyac and cut the Castilian roses that were growing there. Juan obeyed Mary’s instructions and went to the top of the hill where beautiful full blooms of Castillian roses awaited him, despite the freezing cold on the hillside and that in winter no roses or flowers bloomed there. He removed his tilma (cloak), cut the roses and brought them back to the Virgin, who arranged them with her holy hands. Again she sent Juan Diego back with the bishop; instructed him he should reveal the contents of his cloak to the bishop only, that with this sign which he asked for, she wanted him to build the church she much desired in that place. Juan Diego went back to the bishop once more, he told him about the Virgin and how he had given her his message and the proof he needed. So he then opened his cloak letting the beautiful roses fall to the floor. The bishop and his advisors then fell on their knees, but it wasn’t because of the roses, but because of the beautiful image of the Blessed Virgin Mary that was imprinted on the cloak, just as Juan Diego had described her.
