Video game plastic lights replace candles in an Aptos, CA catholic church.
Will the pastoral candle be next? How about recyclable plastic wafers?
When heat is applied to a wick contained in wax a candle lights. It emits smoke, light and heat. The smoke rises to the heavens….symbolizing early sacrifices to God.
To replace candles with what amounts to a cheap video game …. one wonders why? Bean counters? Cost? Saving money?
What to do: Let the congregation decide. Put the candles next to the video game lights and allow people to vote.
Ask people:Â Â Do you want to punch a plastic button or light a candle?
