The Candle

Perpetua Aperocho

everytime there is a
big celebrations...
candles are one of
the things that wont be forgotten.
It is always on the list above among
other things
to look for it before
the party begins.
It is one of our traditional
ways to offer thanks to God by
Lighting candles while praying.
