Yesterday I went to Maastricht in the Netherlands with a "womensgroup" to visit the town and it's history. This pic was taken in a church ther, where about 25.000 candles are litten...a month. I liked the athmosphere and the reflection the candles(=bougies) made on the glass in front of a Maria statue.

very nice.
I've been to a place in montreal and part of the church or whatever it is (I think they call it and oratory?) has really high ceilings and in one room it's floor to ceiling with them, so many the smell of them buring is really something and it's decorated with crutches hanging here and there, wheelchairs along the wall from all the people who were supposedly healed in there. This reminds me of that place.
