Candles fell
Regarding the fall of the candle in the temple, the clergy give their explanations. The reason for a candle falling can be various events that are not dependent on the person himself and are random. Therefore, before you start worrying about this, you need to carefully look at what actually happened

The reason for a candle falling can be various events
Regardless of what caused the candle to fall in the temple, there is one church rule that all believers adhere to in such cases: the candle itself must be picked up, crossed three times, ask God for forgiveness and light it again. This is only if it does not go out on its own. Then put it in its original place or hold it in your hands - do it as it was before the fall. Then do everything that was planned and calmly go home.
Prerequisites
And the prerequisites may be the following:
• People may drop a candle from their hands due to being pushed. It so happened that this was a coincidence of circumstances, and there is no need to concentrate special attention on this;
• The candle fell because the person simply could not place it correctly. This case also does not have terrible consequences, there is simply no need to rush in the future, but first you should carefully melt the base of the candle - and then it will connect well, and the candle will stand firmly.
If you came to set a candle for the health of people close to you and relatives, you secured it well, and it fell, then you need to think about it, since this case can be a symbol of their subsequent painful state. This is in no way the fault of the person who installed the candle, it is simply an everyday circumstance beyond the control of man.
When such an incident occurs, all that remains is to constantly offer prayer to God and ask the Almighty to bring health and happiness to the sick person. Regardless of what caused the candle to fall in the church, there is one spiritual law, which in such an incident is observed by all religious people without exception: the candle must be raised, crossed 3 times, ask the Lord for mercy and re-ignite it.
This is only if it does not go out on its own. Then install it in its former place or hold it in your hands - do everything as it was before the candle fell. Then carry out everything that was expected, and go home without worry.
Fallen candle
The tradition of lighting a candle in church (for repose, for health, for help) appeared a long time ago. As a rule, a similar ritual is present at every visit to church. Sometimes, a lit candle falls or goes out, for no apparent reason. In such cases, people believe that this is an omen from above.
Church ministers say that if a candle falls from one’s hand or goes out due to a person’s carelessness, then there is no reason to worry. You shouldn’t think about it or worry, it’s just a human oversight. However, if the candle did not fall by accident, then in this case it is very important to pay attention to the fact why exactly it was placed.
If a fallen candle stood for the health of a person’s relatives, this means that they will soon face illness and illness. If the candle stood for the repose of a loved one, then this indicates that his soul is suffering and cannot find peace (it wanders and cannot find its place).
In the latter case, you need to pray diligently and daily for the repose of the lost soul. This will help her find the right path. However, for whatever reason the candle falls, it must be picked up and at the same time ask the Lord for mercy. Then, it should be re-lit and returned to the place where it was installed.
Should I worry or not?
People are accustomed to believing in omens, fearing the future, and interpreting inexplicable unpleasant or joyful signs. However, the Orthodox Church will never confirm the existence of such superstitions.
Sincerely believing people do not refer to superstitions, continuing to base their worldview on Christian canons. From their point of view, the extinguishing of a candle, its falling or crackling is a simple coincidence of life circumstances. There is no need to pay special attention to such details.
The clergy reassure ordinary lay people, saying that there is no need to worry. A candle can fall for many reasons: a person may be accidentally pushed and he will drop the church attribute from his hands; some people simply do not know how to place candles on a candlestick - you need to melt the wax base and it will attach tightly.
If a person drops a candle in a church, he needs to pick it up, make the sign of the cross and ask for forgiveness from the Lord, and then light it again.

A fallen candle is an omen
A person can drop a candle out of ignorance and inability to install it correctly in a candlestick.
There are a number of options for the development of events, each of which directly depends on the circumstances of the incident.
The candle falls out of the hands under the influence of someone: it does not matter whether the person was pushed intentionally or accidentally, or whether it happened under the influence of someone or something. This incident is in no way regarded as a bad omen. You can safely put this out of your head.
A person may drop a candle out of ignorance and inability to install it correctly in a candlestick: he may simply not know that before installing it in a tetrapod, the candle must be heated so that it becomes soft. This way, the candle will fit tightly and securely and will not wobble. This is also not considered a bad sign.
A fallen candle, which was lit for health, symbolizes approaching trouble and illness. There is no point in placing blame on yourself for this. The belief says that a person is unable to resist it. This is just a statement of fact. Notification of the future. The way out in this situation is to pray for the health of the person in need.
You shouldn’t react so sharply to what happened; anything can happen in the temple, because there are a lot of people there. There is no need to blame yourself for what happened. Moreover, bad thoughts can cause trouble.
If the candle does fall, it must be picked up by crossing itself at least three times. Ask the Lord for forgiveness, if it goes out, then light it again and put it in its place. Or, if the candle was in your hands, then continue to hold it. It is important to do everything that was planned in the temple, and then return home with a calm soul and a light heart. Don't accumulate negative thoughts.
Sign of a fallen candle
Coming to church, each person lights candles. It happens that a candle placed in a candlestick in front of an icon does not want to be fixed in it, and sometimes it even falls off, being already lit. Superstitious people claim that such a “reaction” of a candle does not bode well for the person who placed it. Most likely, troubles and quarrels await a person in the near future.
If you are in church with your chosen one and your candle falls out of the candlestick in front of you, be sure to pay attention to your relationship. You may be facing divorce soon. If someone else’s candle falls from the candlestick in front of the icon, it means that trouble awaits another person, but for the person just standing next to it, according to the signs with the candle, this means nothing.
But it is worth remembering about a completely mundane explanation for such a phenomenon as a fallen candle - its incorrect installation in a candlestick. So before you panic, just remember how you put it there.
Vanga's Dream Book
The book by the famous seer Vanga gives an accurate idea of the dream and explains future events based on the circumstances of what was seen. Vanga's talent is revered and her predictions are listened to.
The dream book interprets that seeing a burning candle in a dream is a favorable sign . A vision with a candle means world peace, and people in it will live in love and harmony.
If you see a candle in a dark window in a dream, the person may be under the influence of light forces that help the dreamer and guide him in the right direction. In life, this may mean that the person is being watched by influential individuals, but the dreamer may not even be aware of this.
If a person sees a dream where he tries to light a candle, but fails, this portends bad events. A person can cause death .
Vanga explains the extinguishing of a candle as a very alarming sign. As a rule, such a dream announces the death of a relative. And if the candle goes out right before our eyes, then illness awaits the dreamer.
The most terrible of Vanga’s explanations is the meaning of a dream with scattered candles. The seer explains such a dream as that people will become cruel and merciless, turn away from God and create a new religion. And the angry Lord will burn the Earth to the ground.
Lighting candles in a dream - interpretation according to the dream books of Vanga, Miller, etc. A candle is a rather bright symbol for interpretation. Most often, seeing a lit candle in a dream is considered a good sign, but do not forget about...
IMPORTANT: Vanga’s dream book does not always describe events straightforwardly.
What does a candle fall mean?
When each person comes to church, they light candles.
It happens that you hold a candle in your hand, and then before you know it, it’s already lying on the floor. What is this? Clumsiness or a sign from above? Opinions are divided on this matter. Firstly, the place, the room in which the candle fell, matters. If you dropped a burning candle at home or it fell off your table, this is a good sign. Most likely, there will be a wedding in your house soon.
If you let a candle slip from your hands in church, then according to the signs of candles, you will soon encounter troubles. If, falling from your hands, a burning candle goes out, pay attention to your health; perhaps you have some serious problems with it, ignoring which can lead to dire consequences.
You can drop a candle from your hands for various reasons, for example, someone pushed you, wax dripped onto your hand and out of surprise you dropped the candle, etc. Such situations should not be taken as signs of fate.
The candle went out or began to crackle
Among ordinary laity, there are several common beliefs about this, despite the fact that the Church itself rejects such myths. History knows a number of inexplicable events associated with a candle that went out or began to crack. To deny such facts or believe in them is an individual matter for everyone.
An extinguished candle is considered by some people as a sign of a loss of connection with the Almighty Father, since it is through the flame that thoughts are transmitted from the believer to God. An extinguished fire indicates that prayers will not be heard.
There are a large number of reasons leading to this problem. Many people are afraid and frightened by the crackling sound of a wax candle, believing that it is “burning” with evil energy. This is another superstition that you should not believe in. Candle cracking occurs due to additives that are placed in the wax.
And yet, when installing a candle in a church or in a home iconostasis, you must remember about safety precautions. You should be careful and concentrated, without thinking about any useless things. The mind of a believer who comes to worship should turn only to the Lord, who always protects his faithful servants from troubles.
On a note! When making requests to the Almighty Creator, you must be as open and sincere as possible. It is better for an Orthodox believer if he does not hide his sins, but sincerely repents of them.
And under no circumstances should a person lose faith, daily continuing to occupy his mind with prayers and thanks for the peace given by God.
A candle fell on the floor in the church
If a candle falls for repose, the soul of the deceased cannot find its place.
Church officials claim that there are no visible reasons for concern only if you dropped the candle through negligence. An accident or a small mistake does not depend on a person, so you should not focus on it. Just be careful next time and take your time.
It’s another matter when you have already lit a candle more than once and are sure that its fall was not accidental. In this situation, it is worth paying attention to one important detail: why you lit the candle. If a well-fortified candle was placed for the health of your loved ones and relatives and for unknown reasons fell, this is a sign of their imminent illness.
We recommend reading: Why does a candle crack?
If a candle for repose falls, the soul of the deceased cannot find its place, it wanders and suffers. In this case, it is necessary to read prayers for the dead as much as possible, helping the deceased find the way.
A candle fell at home
When lit candles fall or go out in the house, it seems to us that this is some kind of warning from above. There are several superstitions among people associated with such incidents as a falling candle in the house.
If a candle falls at home, then this sign indicates that the family living in the house will experience a very difficult period in their relationships, as a result of which they may even get divorced. Conflicts can arise against the background of adultery and even without any reason at all.
If you put a candle at the bed of a sick person in your home, and it goes out or falls, this can only mean one thing - you should prepare for his funeral, because in this way God warns you about the rapid death of a sick relative.
In general, fire is a symbol of life. Try lighting a candle in church for the health of a person who is no longer alive. You will see for yourself that the candle will not burn, it will not even light up or will immediately go out as soon as you try to put it in the tetrapod.
