Passing Candlestick Slide


The hands of two Kappas pass a candlestick with a lighted candle. These may be the Ware candlesticks, which were first used at Charlotte Barrell's wedding to Robert Allison Ware in 1895. She presented them to the Fraternity in 1935 after initiating the Passing of the Light ceremony at Alpha Province Convention, now a beloved Kappa tradition. The candlesticks were used in the closing service at each General Convention and in the installation of new chapters before they were retired in 1998.
