Not all deacons hold candles. It must be a tradition in your church.
Although not named as Deacons in the bible, they were the forerunners of the deacons in todays churches.
The phrase "can't hold a candle" refers to someone who is not as skilled or competent as another person in a particular area. For example, "He can't hold a candle to her cooking skills" implies that his cooking skills are not as good as hers.
