Paschal Candle - Symbol of Christ’s Resurrection in Easter Liturgy #203601 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn illustration depicts a traditional Paschal candle, made of beeswax and marked with the Greek letters Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω), representing Christ as the beginning and the end. The candle is set upon an ornate stand, flanked by a woven basket of dyed eggs and small ritual items, all arranged on a draped table for the Easter Vigil service. Melted wax drips down its sides, emphasizing its active use during liturgical rites.

Used in Christian Easter celebrations-especially the Easter Vigil-the Paschal candle symbolizes the risen Christ and is lit throughout the 50 days of Eastertide. It appears on church websites, liturgical resource pages, religious education materials, and seasonal devotionals targeting congregants seeking theological insight or worship preparation.
