These 8oz. Candles are hand-poured and made of 100% natural beeswax with a cedarwood wick and have an estimated burn time of 35+ hours. 

The significance of beeswax in Catholic traditions and practices is deeply rooted in its symbolic representation and its prescribed use in liturgical contexts. Beeswax is primarily used for altar candles, including the paschal candle, due to its symbolic connection to Jesus Christ. The pure wax symbolizes the pure flesh of Christ, which He received from His Virgin Mother, Mary. This connection is emphasized in the Exultet, a hymn sung during the Easter Vigil, which highlights the virginity of bees and thus the purity of the wax used in the candles. The wick of the candle is seen to represent the soul of Christ, while the flame signifies His divinity. This triadic symbolism encapsulates the mystery of Christ's nature as both human and divine, making beeswax candles a profound element of Catholic worship.

The use of beeswax candles also serves as a metaphor for the Church itself. Just as bees work together to produce wax, the community of believers is called to work together to spread the light of Christ in the world. The Church prescribes that candles used during Mass and other liturgical functions should be made of beeswax, at least in a significant proportion. For instance, the paschal candle and the two candles used at Mass must be made of beeswax in "maxima parte," interpreted as at least 75% beeswax. This requirement underscores the importance of using materials that reflect the sacredness of the liturgy.

Blessing of Candles 

The Church also provides a formal blessing for candles, particularly on Candlemas (February 2), which further enhances their sacred status. This blessing is a reminder of the candles' role in representing Christ as the light of the world.
