Honoring a southern Baptist with saint candles?

Question

I live in a very catholic and Latino neighborhood where you can buy those glass pillar shaped candles with saints on them pretty much everywhere. There is even a small store that sells about 100 different saint/biblical event candles. Is it appropriate at all to be lighting a saint candle for a southern Baptist? I don't know much about catholicism or southern baptists. Do southern baptists believe in only certain saints that might be on these candles? Saints/event dipictions to avoid? Or avoid all? I can't imagine that a plain color (no saint image) would be offensive to southern baptists but, are there colors to avoid? Thanks. Edit: This is for memorial/remberance and will just be personal.

Answer 1

Southern Baptists typically do not view the "saints" in the same context that Catholics do. Baptists do not have "patron saints". However, I do not believe that anyone would be bothered if you lit a candle at a funeral/memorial. I think your sentiment would mean more than any specific rite or ritual. To be safe, you might just want to choose a neutral candle.
