Q: In our parish, the paschal candle, outside of Eastertide, stands next to the baptismal font. When should that paschal candle be retired to make way for the new one at the Easter Vigil?

==

A: You keep it by the font until just before the beginning of the Easter Vigil, when it is retired and a replacement starts its life in the sanctuary.
