20
Candles, Incense, Beads

• It is interesting to note how often our Church
  has availed herself of practices which were in
  common use among pagansThus it is true, in a
  certain sense, that some Catholic rites and
  ceremonies are a reproduction of those of pagan
  creed but they are the taking of what was best
  from paganism.
• (Externals of the Catholic Church, p.156)

21
Candles, Incense, Beads

• We need not shrink from admitting that candles,
  like incense and lustral water, were commonly
  employed in pagan worship and the rites paid to
  the dead. But the Church from a very early period
  took them into her service, just as she adopted
  many other things indifferent in themselves,
  which seemed proper to enhance the splendor of
  religious ceremonial.
• (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. III, p.246)
