What do the symbols on a baptismal candle mean?
Baptismal candles are manufactured by different companies and different groups. Some groups apply or paint their own symbols on candles. Thus not all baptismal candles have the same symbols.
Here are a few you may encounter: * Water - quite obvious, as baptism requires the pouring of water on the candidate. Water is a symbol of cleansing and purification. It spiritually represents the cleansing of the soul from sin and the washing away of the "old" man and emergence of the "new" one in the Christian life.
* Seashell - St. John the Baptist is often portrayed baptizing people with a scallop shell in Christian iconography. John administered full immersion baptisms and so would probably not have needed to use a shell, however, it is a symbol of administering baptism.
* Dove - When he was baptized a dove descended upon Him when he emerged from the waters. The dove represents the Holy Ghost/Spirit; when baptized, grace enters the soul.
* Chalice - baptism gains its redemptive benefits and power over sin thanks to the sacrifice of Christ. The chalice is a reminder of the price of sin, for Christ shed His blood that we might have grace.
* Cross - the quintessential Christian symbol. Baptism is the initiation rite into the Christian community and spiritual life.
* P on an X - properly called the "Chi-Rho" or "Sigla" these are the first letters for "Christ" in Greek. these letters constitute the letters Constantine saw in a vision before his victory over the eastern empire and have been used to identify Christians ever since.

When a muscle contracts but does not change length what type ofpools networks of?
When a muscle contracts but does not change length, it is undergoing isometric contraction. During this type of contraction, the muscle generates tension without any visible movement or change in the muscle's length. This is commonly observed when holding a weight in a fixed position or pushing against an immovable object. Isometric contractions are important for stabilizing joints and maintaining posture.
What happens to one muscle when the other relaxes?
Muscles either contract or relax. Healthy muscles will do what they are supposed to do, contract and relax, because they can. Unhealthy muscles contract and never relax. This is a very painful state to be in when it happens to you. A muscle in this state is called a hypertonic muscle or a muscle in spasm. Thomas Griner is the foremost expert on muscle spasms and he has developed a way to treat this unhealthy muscle condition. Most MDs study muscle physiology for 5 hours or less in med school and are virtually ignorant as to why muscles go into spasm. They have no idea how muscles function and as a result have no idea why they malfunction. If someone has no idea why something malfunctions they are not going to have any idea how to fix the problem.
Luckily for all of us Thomas Griner understands muscle physiology and devoted his life to treating and helping people. When you read his work you will understand that most people are walking around with muscles in spasm and most people's back pain, hip pain, joint pain, etc. are a result of muscles in spasm. Thomas Griner also wrote a book with a patient of his that he helped called, "What's Really Wrong With You?"

A better way to ask this question and clarify it would be "What is the symbolic meaning of a candle in ______________________?"
