The sanctuary candle is burned continually in a Catholic or Orthodox church as a sign of the continual real presence of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, under the appearance of the host (bread) kept the tabernacle (the gold box) in each church building. The candle is a sign to those who wish to pray that Jesus is truly present, looking at each person with love, listening to their prayers, and giving them the grace needed to deal with the problems of life. The only day of the liturgical year on which the sanctuary candle is not lit is Holy Saturday (following Good Friday), when Jesus is removed from the tabernacle as a reminder to the faithful of his absence when He was in the tomb after His death on the Cross.
