This candle was designed with a home altar in mind. The candle features an image of the Holy Spirit as a descending dove and a triangle representing the Trinity. During the pouring process, Chrism essential oil was added making the burning of each candle reminiscent of the Easter Vigil or baptism. Each candle was hand-poured with 100% local beeswax in a mold cast from a 3D printed model I designed.

The designs are detailed and complex and each candle features unique mold marks from the pouring process. No two candles are alike and may have blemishes, as with any handmade item. Every candle is "double-dipped" in the cooling process. This technique is designed to eliminate air pockets that form near the wick as the melted wax cools. These air pockets can cause flare ups during burning. As a result, the bottoms of each candle are imperfect and are hand-leveled after cooling.

Each candle weighs approximately 8 ounces and measures 2-1/2" wide and 2-7/8" tall.

Basic candle care should be used with these candles.

-As beeswax candles age, they develop a bloom. This is perfectly normal.

-Trim the wick to 1/4" before burning and keep the wick trimmed.

-Beeswax candles should be allowed to burn for an hour per inch of diameter to prevent tunneling.

-Never leave a lit candle unattended and never burn a candle near anything flammable: bedding, curtains, paper, etc.

-Candles should be burned on a plate, trivet or candle holder: anything level and heat-resistant.

    These Candles Rock!

    Posted by Kim Evander on Aug 26th 2021

    I just got my candles today and I am very pleased with them! I bought two separate ones as gifts. Each one I purchased help to symbolize my gratitude of the person who was receiving it, and why that particular candle fit the occasion. They have a wonderful Chrism aroma, and I have a few more special occasions coming up that I think these candles will be just the right gift for. I got them pretty quickly and the seller added some very nice personal touches to the package. Will definitely be ordering again!

    Beautiful Scent and Excellent Quality

    Posted by Kelsey on Jun 29th 2020

    I ordered this as a gift for a friend and was delighted upon opening the box at the beautiful scent that arose--precisely like the chrism oils one receives in baptism! I hope that each time he lights it, he is reminded of the call of his baptism. Thank you for the excellent quality and attention to detail, as well!
