| Description : | Both candle holders are shaped like angels. Each angel is ceramic, and rests on a brown, octagonal pedestal. Each angel holds a long, golden staff on the top of which is a brass fixture which could hold a candle. The angels are quite similar. They are the same size and both have golden hair and similar wings and robes. However, one is gazing to the left, and one to the right. Moreover, although their robes are nearly identical in design, one is coloured blue while the other is pink. The paint on the ceramic is flaking off in some places. |
| Commentaires : | Candle holders were important fixtures in Roman Catholic churches. Candles would be lighted before a mass began, and could not be extinguished until it was finished. The residents of Logy Bay, Middle Cove, and Outer Cove were overwhelmingly Catholic (of Irish descent) from the time of settlement through to the mid-twentieth century. These specific candle holders came to the community in 1919, when St. Francis of Assisi church was constructed in Outer Cove. The cornerstone of the church was laid in June of 1918, and the first mass was said by parish priest Fr. Dan O'Callaghan on Christmas Eve, 1919. |
| Fonctions : | The candle holders sat on the alter at St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church in Outer Cove from 1919. |
