&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp No and no. Lighting a candle is symbolic of the Light that Jesus brings into the world. St. Gregory the Illuminator brought the Light of Christ to the Armenian nation by preaching the Gospel. Lighting a candle helps remind us of Jesus’ Light, and thus helps focus us on God while we pray. We don’t light a candle for good luck, we light a candle to help us pray well. 14. When we kiss an icon, are we worshipping that saint? &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp No. The saints have fallen asleep in Christ. We have icons to remind ourselves of them, to pray for them, and to ask them to pray for us. They do not have the power to directly intervene in our lives, but they can pray to God on our behalf.
