You can't be there.
We can.

A real candle, in a real church, lit by a real person for someone you love. You receive a photo or video as it burns.

Coming soon

How it started

It began in Israel. People far away asked me to light a candle for someone they loved, in the footsteps of Jesus. I lit it, took a photo, and sent it to them. It meant more to people than I ever expected.

Now I'm starting again, and doing it better. First in my own hometown, Zwolle, in the Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek beneath the Peperbus. Part of every candle goes to children who need it.

How it will work

  1. Choose a candle and a placeTell us who it's for, and add a name or a short message.
  2. We light it for youA volunteer lights your candle by hand, within a few days.
  3. You see it burnYou receive a photo or short video of your candle, and part of your gift goes to children's charities.
