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.

What do you call a candle that gives honor to the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle?
Catholic AnswerThe candle by the tabernacle, which is required to be burning anytime Our Blessed Lord is reserved in the tabernacle, is not necessarily red. Most parishes I know have a clear container for the candle, although some have a red one. There is no particular meaning, although red usually refers to the Sacred Heart (Our Blessed Lord, Jesus) and blue means Our Blessed Lady, the Immaculate Heart.
What day is the Sanctuary Lamp not lit?
According to Roman Catholic tradition, the sanctuary lamp is not lit only two days out of the year: Good Friday and Easter Eve. These are the only times the Eucharist is not present in the tabernacle. The sanctuary lamp being lit represents Jesus being "home" in the church. On these two days, the host is housed elsewhere.Upon entering the assembly space:When the host is home (the light is lit), one should genuflect (bow on the right knee and make the sign of the cross on the forehead, chest, left-, then right-shoulder using the right hand) in the direction of the tabernacle and sanctuary lamp.When the host is elsewhere, one should genuflect to the altar (the table on the elevated platform called "the sanctuary"). This is to acknowledge the presence of the lord in the space and pay respect to the word.For more information, visit http://jloughnan.tripod.com/whylamps.htm"Why Do Catholics Have a Sanctuary Lamp Burning Night and Day in Their Churches?" by Paul Stenhouse MSC PhD
When is a sanctuary lamp not lit?
A sanctuary lamp is not lit when the Eucharist is not present in the tabernacle, typically during times of liturgical significance such as Holy Friday, when the Blessed Sacrament is removed. Additionally, it may not be lit during specific rituals or seasons within the church calendar where the focus shifts away from the Eucharist. In general, the lamp serves as a sign of Christ’s presence, so it remains unlit in His absence.
