Worldwide Candle Lighting Day was created by the community
from The Compassionate Friend in 1997 as a small internet
observance in honor of children who’s lives were tragically
short for any reason.

The candles are lit at 7:00 pm or 19:00 local time to remember
these children who never got to grow up and to support their
grieving friends and family.
