Told you I had an obsession shooting candles at Churches and Monasteries:
In Memoriam
Romanians do keep the tradition of lighting candles separated in ‘for the dead’ and ‘for the living’.
This is a way for Monasteries to make some money since they are manufacturing the candles, but mostly a good opportunity for people to act / feel concerned about their closest ones: when you light a candle you say in your head the name of the person(s) whom you light the candles for. In the case of the dead, it’s in their memory.
