Via Ad Lucem

Light a candle in your church, wherever you are. With Via Ad Lucem, your candle is really lit, on the votive stand inside the church you choose. If the stand is dedicated to a saint, your candle burns right beside their image. While it is lit, your intention appears on the votive stand screen. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the church: search by name, saint or place, with the nearest ones first. 2. Choose how long the candle stays lit. You see the price and when it will go out. 3. Pay by card or PIX (in Brazil). 4. Write your intention. We'll let you know when your candle is lit. MY CANDLES See the candles you have lit, which ones are still burning, and light again in the same church with one tap. SUPPORT YOUR PARISH Each church sets its own prices, which help support the parish. NO SIGN-UP You don't need an account to light a candle. FOR PARISHES AND SHRINES Is your parish not on Via Ad Lucem yet? With our digital votive stands, the faithful light candles through the app, the website or a QR Code on the stand itself, paying by card or PIX. We can also adapt electronic votive stands the church already has. Reach us through the app or at viaadlucem.com. Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Lithuanian.
