The ritual of baptism does not always require candles. John the Baptist and early Christians did not use candles. In most Roman Catholic rites, one candle is often used to represent the parents' responsibility to carry the faith to their child. Other candles used in such services may include those for godparents, family members, and friends. (see related Baptism link)
