There is perhaps nothing more delightful that watching a young boy, maybe three-years old, trying to light candles in church.

"Come what may, I'm not gonna budge till all the candles are lighted" said the earnest look on the face that is seen only in children who fancy themselves as grown up.

Shooting impatient and confused glances at the fan above that kept extinguishing the candles that he had lighted with great patience the youngster struck to his voluntary task even as his mother chattered on oblivious to his doings.

And not befor long you had the entire deck shining with three rows of candles.

Happy Easter

Dear Friendly Ghost,

Thats a cute description :) Thanks for sharing it. When the soft pulpy palm of the 3 year olds hold on the the round candle gripped with all the force and perhaps small tiny nails dug in... what could one do but sit and watch.
