Two prayer candles are placed at an outdoor Catholic shrine, housing a reproduction of Michaelangelo's Pieta, for Candlemas 2010--also the Feast of the Purification of Mary. |
This devotional candle depicts the image of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The back of the candle had a prayer to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, but it didn't photograph well. |
This prayer candle depicts Mater Salvatoris, "Mother of Our Savior." |
The back of the Mater Salvatoris prayer candle said, "Pray for Haiti," refering to the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. |
