Blazing light in court or church (5)

I believe the answer is:

torch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blazing light' is the definition.
'torch' can be an answer for 'light' (type of light). I'm not certain of the 'blazing' bit.

'in court or church' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TORCH' can be found hidden inside 'court or church'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torch that I've seen before include "Portable lamp; set alight" , "Link" , "Such a love song" , "Small hand-held battery lamp" , "source of illumination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
