The four candles of Peace, Faith, and Love slowly burn out as their flames diminish, expressing that these values are no longer strong in the world. When a child enters and sees the unlit candles, the final candle of Hope says it can re-light the others. The child takes the Candle of Hope and re-lights Peace, Faith, and Love, expressing that as long as Hope remains, the other values can be restored. The message encourages keeping the flame of Hope alive.
