That's an Easter Candle also known as a Paschal Candle.
At Catholic Churchs all over the world, they have lit a new Easter Candle for 2009.
Some info from wikipedia:
For churches that celebrate the Easter Vigil on the Saturday evening before Easter the ceremonial lighting of the Paschal candle is one of the most solemn moments of the service.
The entire church is darkened by extinguishing all candles and lamps. This represents the darkness of a world without God.
(Outside the church, at the opening of the Easter Vigil) a "new fire" is lit and blessed. The minister will trace the symbols (mentioned above) on the Paschal candle, saying words similar to: "Christ, yesterday and today, the beginning and the ending. To Christ belongs all time and all the ages; to Christ belongs glory and dominion now and forever. Amen."
The Paschal candle is the first candle to be lit with a flame from this sacred fire, representing the light of Christ coming into the world. This represents the risen Christ, as a symbol of light (life) dispelling darkness (death). As it is lit, the minister may say words similar to: "The light of Christ, rising in Glory, dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds."
I solemnly swear I am up to no good.
