==Eastern usage==
{{Main|Paschal trikirion}}
In the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Byzantine Rite|Byzantine]] [[Eastern Catholic Churches|Catholic]] churches, there is no direct correspondence to the Western Paschal candle. However, throughout [[Bright Week]], the priest carries a cross and [[paschal trikirion]] at all of the services, especially when [[censing]], during the [[Little Entrance]] or when giving the [[Paschal greeting]]. The trikirion consists of three lit candles in a candlestick, which the priest carries in his left hand. In the Slavic tradition, the three candles may be white or different colors: green, red, blue. The deacon also carries a special Paschal candle which is a single large candle whenever he leads an [[ektenia]] (litany) or censes.
