There are a few other special candles used.
When I was a teenager I came across this fellow who was carrying something in a brown paper bag. In the middle of the conversstion he said:
"Do you know what I have here?"
"No!" I said as he reverently and slowly reached into the bag to show me.
"It is the sacred heart of Jesus!" He said producing a large red candle.
Do you know anything about this? Just looking for an explanation. No offense intended.
