1. Holy Thursday after the Mass of the Lord’s supper, the faithful keeping watch at the Altar of Repose.

2. Good Friday during the intercession when we prayed for all God’s people throughout the world.

3. At the Easter Vigil, the lighted candle representing The risen Lord as the light of the world bringing us out of the darkness of sin.
