Is this candle indicative of the Holy Eucharist? The article doesn’t specify but in general a candle in a Catholic chapel indicates that Jesus is present in the Eucharist for adoration. Which would be wonderful to have in a hospital!

Also, the article initially claims that the candle needs to be extinguished because of its explicitly religious nature, but then makes claims that it’s due to a fire code issue. If it’s simply a matter of fire code, the candle can be replaced by a light, if I’m not mistaken, like a flickering led candle. Which would still be a shame but I’ve seen those in place of devotional candles many times. But if it’s over religious expression they can go kick rocks.
