Those in attendance were asked to participate in the lighting of the candles.
The lighting of the candles is a special occasion planned to assist everyone in honoring their loved ones and friends buried and entombed at the Evergreen Cemetery and Mausoleum. The music, the meditation, and the lighting of the candles are all designed to bring comfort and hope to everyone as we celebrate God’s gift of memory.
The candles were lit in the memory of loved ones who have departed this life. “You will light my candle, O Lord, and will turn darkness to light.” Psalm 18″28.
In John’s Gospel 8:12, we read: Jesus said, “I am the Light of the World; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
The Evergreen Perpetual Care Cemetery & Mausoleum is located at 2450 Highway 301 North, Dillon, S.C.
