“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
The last candle of the tenebræ hearse is removed after all the other lights have been put out and hidden for the final prayer, as Christ was hidden in the tomb for a time. But Christ rose again, and so the light is brought out and shown to the people to remind us that the light is not conquered in the events of the coming days.
