It was a wide-spread practice among Catholic population that the parents themselves provide the candle which the priest will use in the ceremony of Baptism. According to the Ritual this candle is lit and handed to the sponsor (god parent) to hold while the priest addresses the following words to the child:Receive this lighted candle, and keep your Baptism above reproach. Keep the commandments of God, so that when the Lord comes to His marriage feast, you may meet Him in the halls of heaven with all His saints, and may live with Him forever. Amen.
It certainly is in keeping with the spirit of the liturgy of Baptism for the baptized person to retain this candle as a cherished symbol of his spiritual birth.
