Tonight I attended my church's annual Christmas Eve service, this being at least the second year in a row I have been in attendance as I recall. At the end of the service we gathered outside along with New Day Church who jointly worshiped with us, and were sent outside the church and into the world with the commission to share the flame which we literally did for the entire crowd who held candles given to them for this very purpose. The entire crowd's candles were lit starting from just my pastor's lit candle. I always enjoy these sorts of symbolic gestures both in the Catholic and Protestant spheres.
