Candles hold a central position in many of our religious/ spiritual
traditions.  Warmth, light, hearth.  Now these rituals have
extended to the web, to virtual candle-lighting. 

At Circle of Lights, you can request that  a candle be lit for yourself or someone else.  At The site of Pain Bereavement and Perpetuation (which is mostly in Hebrew, a language I cannot read) You can light a candle for any your beloved person.  Webshots hosts Light A Candle For Peace (flash) and a 9-11 Memorial site invites us to Please light a candle; in memory of the fallen; in the name of peace.

This is one of the weirdest sites

Is there someone you would like to light a candle for, in this, our dark northern season?
