Catholics have an eternal flame like this on their altars, which is extinguished only once a year (I believe during Lent). It also represents God's constant presence. Is there a separate term for this?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.237.90.24 (talk • contribs) .

I have no idea what the term for this is, but I highly doubt they call it by it's Hebrew name. Easter does mention a "perpetual flame", so that might be it, but the truth is you should probably be asking somewhere on a catholic linked page for a mroe authorotative answer. --Bachrach44 15:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
