Baptism
The origin of the Baptism is found in the Bible and Jesus institute this sacrament for our cleansing.
A confirmation candle is a candle with symbols of the Holy Spirit on it. It is mostly used in protestant churches.
When speaking of any sacrament, we speak of matter (actions done, objects used) and form (words pronounced). The definition of a sacrament is a visible sign, instituted by God, to confer grace. This is how the word "sign" is used in respect to sacraments. The sign or sacrament of baptism is the initial sacrament of the Church through which a soul is cleansed of Original Sin and becomes a living member of Mystical Body of Christ and therefore able to enter into heaven. It is the rite of Christian initiation. If by sign, an image or symbol is inferred, then a candle, a white gown or perhaps a shell holding or pouring water (an artistic device often used by painters portraying St. John the Baptist) could be employed.
"(Name), I baptize you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"
The baptismal candle is typically blown out after the baptism ceremony has concluded and the candle has been used to symbolize the light of Christ being passed to the newly baptized individual.
