There is a special time in the year when the sanctuary lamp will not be lit. When will that be?
The Sanctuary Lamp is kept burning in front of the tabernacle in Catholic churches as a sign and a reminder that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist (Consecrated Host) stored in the tabernacle. In the Old Testament, God commanded that a lamp should always burn in the Tabernacle (Exodus 27:20-21). If there are no Consecrated Hosts in the tabernacle then the lamp is extinguished. This happens in every Catholic Church after Holy Thursday Mass until the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday night.

This light (usually a large candle, and always red) is kept lit 24/7 and the only time it is put out is at the end of Maundy Thursday Mass where it is moved, along with the Blessed Sacrament, to the Altar of Repose until Easter Vigil when it is brought back to the Sanctuary.
