Today's Paschal URL

It seems that some heathen or other may be sabotaging the Paschal candles used in most Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. See the evidence here.

I have seen a candle simply dribble out as the candle-follower gets close to the cup of the candle-holder. On one such occasion the candle-follower fell the the floor with a "clunk" during a silent moment in the service.

I am torn between enjoying the use of candles in services and dreading the mess and annoyance they cause for the sacristan (me).
