 In some traditions, the base of the candle may be ritually immersed in the baptismal font before proceeding with the remainder of the service.This candle is traditionally the one from which all other lights are taken for the Easter service.The candle remains lit at all worship services throughout Easter season which ends on Pentecost Sunday, (or in some traditions until Ascension Day, when it is extinguished just after the Gospel), during which time it is located in the sanctuary close to the altar.
