Candles on GRAVES!

Why do people light candles at the GRAVES?

[matsalam]

Aside from putting flowers on graves. I really do not understand why we light candles? I remember my friend told me that once we light the candle the soul of the certain person can see us the moment we light it. I don't know how true it is but I hope it's true.

It's human nature to do something for our departed loved ones...
And customs and traditions play a major role in this, too.

It's a tell-tale sign that we don't treat them any differently just because
they're six-feet underground. It symbolizes our love and respect for them.

In our family, we even bring my bro's favorite food to signify that we never
forgot how he was with us. Others may deemed it silly but for us,
it's called bonding

candles are symbols of life and death
we notice during baptisms, birthdays, weddings and funerals
doesnt matter what color or size as long its lighted, something's celebrated
