What other people get so excited by a candle in a paper bag, or a candle with an image on it. I mean, we’ve really created an industry around it. Throw a candle in a paper bag and call it “luminaries” and we go crazy. Get a candle with a saint’s image (any saint) and we’ll act like it has secret powers.
The ECH doesn’t lose that sense of candle-love. In fact, the ECH will try to “out candle” each other during dinner parties, weekend brunches or just hanging out on movie nights. “My grandmother used to have a lot of candles in her house,” the ECH will explain. “Mira, this one will get you a man.” It’s as if we light it and try not to let the past burn away as fast as the wax. But we know it is. So we say a little prayer anyway, hoping we don’t let it get too far gone so we won’t forget.
