Candles hold a central position in many of our religious/ spiritual traditions. Warmth, light, hearth. Now these rituals have extended to the web, to virtual candle-lighting.
At Circle of Lights, you can request that a candle be lit for yourself or someone else. At The site of Pain Bereavement and Perpetuation (which is mostly in Hebrew, a language I cannot read) You can light a candle for any your beloved person. Webshots hosts Light A Candle For Peace (flash) and a 9-11 Memorial site invites us to Please light a candle; in memory of the fallen; in the name of peace.
This is one of the weirdest sites

Is there someone you would like to light a candle for, in this, our dark northern season?

That Eagle Spirit Ministries site is seriously wacko! Too bad; I actually like their symbol that combines the Star of David, the Cross and other religious symbols.

"seriously wacko" -- much more descriptive than I was.
