In the Catholic tradition, Lent is a period of penance, reflection, and fasting leading up to Easter. The practice of not lighting candles during Lent symbolizes the somber nature of this season, focusing on sacrifice and self-discipline rather than celebration. However, the use of candles is generally permitted in certain contexts, such as in prayer or liturgical services, as long as it aligns with the spirit of Lent. Ultimately, the interpretation and practices may vary among different communities.
