lit candles? edit

I have not been everywhere, but I have never seen this blessing done with lit candles. The ritual does not call for lit candles. The reference for lit candles does not work. I suggest that any mention of lit candles be omitted unless a positive accessible source can be found. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:20, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Belated thanks for sharing your concerns. The article now includes a highlight photo with lit candles, two online references with lit candles, and a link to Wikimedia Commons showing two more pictures with lit candles. It seems to be a common practice for German-speaking Catholics. —173.68.139.31 (talk) 07:46, 25 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
