 From one of the candles on the triple candlestick, the Paschal Candle is afterwards lit during the chanting of the "Exsultet".In 1955 the triple candlestick was abolished in the liturgical reforms of Pope Pius XII.Since then, even with the promulgation of new editions of the Roman Missal from 1962 onward, the Paschal Candle is lit directly from the Paschal fire at the beginning of the Easter Vigil Mass.
