On the second Sunday in December candles worldwide are lit at 7pm to commemorate and honor the memory of a child who has passed. The Compassionate Friends organization established Worldwide Candle Lighting Day in 1997 for family and friends to remember their sweet little ones who left the world too soon.
There are many ways in which to participate in this worldwide holiday:
- Attend your local candle lighting service at 7:00pm local time & help light everyone’s candles with your electric candle lighter
- Find a local chapter of Compassionate Friends to support
- Preserve memory of child by engraving their name on an electric candle lighter
