Story behind the candle:
The image depicts the right hand of God with fingers and thumb stretched upright. The palm, with its stigmata, faces toward the viewer.
The figures that stand at the top of the four fingers represent St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and her parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne. The Christ Child is depicted on the thumb.
Four angels kneel beside the hand, gazing upward and bearing the tools of the crucifixion. One of the angels holds a bowl to catch Jesus' blood; another angel holds a spear, a vinegar soaked-sponge, a hammer and nails. A third angel holds a cross and the fourth, a crown of thorns. Cherubs float in the sky gazing.
