The white garment is used as a symbolic gesture to confirm and demonstrate a spiritual truth. The priest tells the baptized to "receive this white garment" as a symbol of the purity now in the soul of the newly baptized and to always wear it, i.e. to refrain from sin.
The lighted candle is a sign of the Holy Spirit.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe white garment symbolizes that the new baptised as "put on Christ" and the candle signifies that Christ has enlightened the neophyte:from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941243 The white garment symbolizes that the person baptized has "put on Christ," (Cf. Rite of Baptism of Children 62) has risen with Christ. The candle, lit from the Easter candle, signifies that Christ has enlightened the neophyte. In him the baptized are "the light of the world." (Mt 5:14; cf. Phil 2:15)
