When the pope sleeps over, you do more than change the sheets. You commission new ones, embroidered with the papal crest. You bring in a custom-made memory foam mattress that has never been slept on before and may never be again. And you scrub. “It was very clean, extremely clean,” said Ted Resnick, a carpet dealer who got a recent walk-through of the Philadelphia seminary where Pope Francis will spend one night during his upcoming U.S. visit. “It wasn’t ostentatious really, but it was very clean.” The pope, should he look, will find no dust bunnies beneath the beds he will occupy next week in Washington, New York and Philadelphia. For each hour of comfy pontifical slumber, workers have devoted sleepless hours of burnishing, painting and pillow plumping in three rooms that will soon to be eligible for an exclusive plaque: The Pope Slept Here.

And frequently, the pope is the last person who ever does.

“No one has used it as bedroom since the Holy Father was here,” said Father Ronald Cattany of Denver’s Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, which hosted Pope John Paul II in 1993. In the case of John Paul II, rooms and objects he touched aren’t just cool mementoes. Catholics see them as sacred links to a man who was canonized in 2014. By custom, the pope sleeps in Vatican diplomatic quarters whenever they are available. In Washington, Francis will bed down in the Apostolic Nunciature on Massachusetts Avenue, effectively the Vatican’s embassy. In New York, he will stay at the residence of the Apostolic Nuncio to the United Nations. In New York, the papal nuncio’s residence is on 72th Street near Fifth Avenue, a tony park-side address on the edge of Manhattan’s museum row. The neo-Renaissance townhouse, home to a 19th century New York mayor, got updated wiring and plumbing in advance of Francis’s visit, according to an official with the Holy See’s mission, who asked not to be identified. In Philadelphia, where there is no Vatican diplomatic presence, the pope will bunk with the local archbishop, another church custom. When John Paul visited Philly in 1979, he slept in the archbishop’s 23,000-square-foot mansion. But the archdiocese, struggling with money and public image in the wake of clergy sex abuse scandals, sold the mansion in 2012 and refit an apartment for Archbishop Charles Chaput in the 1920s-era faculty wing of the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary.

mindbodygreen.com - Candle Color Meanings: What To Know, Rituals + Spells To Try

One of the biggest parts of candle magic is understanding how to read the flame, as well as the wax, and even the glass surrounding your candle. Quinn tells mbg that the flame size can tell you a lot about how much energy you're working with. As you can imagine, a big flame means this is a very energized reading. If it's small, it could indicate you're dealing with a "slow burn" issue that may take some time to move through. This is also true of the speed at which your candle burns. "If a candle burns really fast and really clean, then there aren't a lot of limited belief systems or energy blocking that intention. If it takes a long time to burn, that could mean that you're moving through some different challenges in order to get to that intention," Quinn explains. If the candle burns black on the clear glass, she adds, that also means there's a lot of energy and belief systems to move through to help you get to your intention. (Just don't confuse this for black on the glass left from your lighter—always use a long candle lighter and light it from above to keep this from happening.) Pay attention to the wax as well. When wax sticks to the sides of the glass, aka "tunneling," this can indicate that you have resistance or "stuckness" on the way to your intention, Quinn says (or you're just burning your candle incorrectly). And lastly, keep an eye on the candle wick as well. If it starts splitting or you notice it's moving in a certain direction, Quinn recommends asking your guides what they're trying to tell you.
