I was raised a Catholic and am familiar with the votive candle idea. As we have toured Europe we have seen dozens of the displays. But there has been a disturbing, to me, trend to electrify them. It’s not the same at all and I don’t like them.
So I was happy to see none of this nonsense at this Saint Jean church. Plus they offer supersized candles, only 2€, 1€ for the little ones.
