Light is used in worship for <strong>a direct command from God to Moses, who is commanded to place a lampstand in front of the ark.<\/strong>You shall set up the tabernacle (...) and put the ark in it, and cover it with the veil (...) you shall put the lampstand in it and light the lamps thereof\" (Ex 40).

The paschal fire is used to light the candle, which represents Christ, in the midst of darkness, while the assembly intones the \"Lumen Christi\". The whole church draws from this fire to light its candles, which symbolize the presence of each member of the faithful before Christ.<\/p>\n<!-- Slider main container -->\r\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper\">\r\n\t\t  <!-- Additional required wrapper -->\r\n\t\t  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- Slides -->\r\n\t\t\t  \r\n\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t    \t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"nolazy\" src=\"https:\/\/granda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/imagen6.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t  \t\t  <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t  <!-- If we need navigation buttons -->\r\n\t\t  <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t  <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\twindow.addEventListener(\"load\", function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tconst swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {\r\n\t\t\t\t  speed: 400,\r\n\t\t\t\t  spaceBetween: 100,\r\n\t\t\t\t   navigation: {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tnextEl: '.swiper-button-next',\r\n\t\t\t\t\tprevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',\r\n\t\t\t\t  },\r\n\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\tdocument.querySelectorAll(\".swiper-slide img\").forEach(image => {\r\n\t\t\t\t\timage.addEventListener(\"click\", function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tlet backdrop = document.createElement(\"section\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackdrop.classList.add(\"slide-backdrop\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tlet img = document.createElement(\"img\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\timg.src = this.src;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackdrop.appendChild(img);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tbackdrop.addEventListener(\"click\", function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackdrop.style.opacity = 0;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsetTimeout(() => {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackdrop.remove();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.style.overflow = \"\";\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, 500)\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t})\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(backdrop);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.style.overflow = \"hidden\";\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t});\r\n\t\t\t\t})\r\n\t\t\t})\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t.swiper {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-bottom: 30px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.swiper-slide img {\r\n\t\t\t\tmax-height: 400px;\r\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: block;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\tcursor: pointer;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t.swiper-wrapper {\r\n\t\t\t\talign-items: stretch!important;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t.swiper-slide {\r\n\t\t\t\theight: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: flex;\r\n\t\t\t\tflex-direction: column;\r\n\t\t\t\tjustify-content: center;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t.swiper-button-next, .swiper-button-prev {\r\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #CAA966!important;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t.slide-backdrop {\r\n\t\t\t\tposition: fixed;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100vw;\r\n\t\t\t\theight: 100vh;\r\n\t\t\t\ttop: 0;\r\n\t\t\t\tleft: 0;\r\n\t\t\t\tbackground: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);\r\n\t\t\t\tz-index: 999;\r\n\t\t\t\ttransition: .5s;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t.slide-backdrop img {\r\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: block;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\ttop: 50%;\r\n\t\t\t\tposition: relative;\r\n\t\t\t\ttransform: translateY(-50%);\r\n\t\t\t\tmax-width: 90%;\r\n\t\t\t\tmax-height: 90%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\r\n\t\t\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Continua <a href=\"http:\/\/granda.com\/en\/2017\/06\/05\/light-at-the-service-of-the-liturgy-ii-light-in-the-liturgy-and-in-art\/\">here<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De la conferencia impartida por D.
