Chrismtas Candle, The

When a skeptical, kindhearted, widowed English Salvation Army worker (Hans Matheson) is encouraged to return to the pulpit in 1890 in the small town of Gladbury by a wealthy woman (Barbara Flynn) after their pastor dies in this family-oriented, religious, predictable, 100-minute film based on Max Lucado's novel, the desperate townsfolk (Samantha Barks, Susan Boyle, Victoria Bewick, James Cosmos, et al.) want him to believe in the Christmas candle—a candle made by the local candlemaker (Sylvester McCoy) and his wife (Lesley Manville) and blessed by an angel every 25 years—that bestows a wish upon the person who prays and lights the candle.
