How long does the candle stay lit?

Hi there.  I am new to this site and was wondering if anyone can tell me how long does a candle stay lit on this site and if you can tell when a candle was created for a person.  Thank you for any information that can be provided.  Have a great day.

Welcome to the forum, Lisa! A candle stays lit for 48 hours. You can find a candle if you know how the candle was signed or the group in which it was lit. In either case click "Search" in the left upper corner when you come to "Light a Candle" and fill in the appropriate blank and click.   You might find it helpful to read the first two threads on top of the list which will give you more detail.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you everything good,
Edda

Peace and joy!
