Mater Dolorosa Beeswax Blend Candle

Surround yourself with the scents of the Mater Dolorosa candle. Fragrance notes of Black Rose, Labdanum, and Vanilla will fill your sacred living space with deep reflection as you meditate upon the Sorrows of Mary. 

These scents are intentionally chosen as a gentle reminder of our Sorrowful Mother and the suffering she endured. Black Rose symbolizes death and mourning, Labdanum, which is thought to have been used in various anointing oils and temple incense as offerings to God, and Vanilla to remind us of Mary's sweetness.

All materials and scents I use are 100% clean, non-toxic, and centered around the Catholic faith.

Did you know beeswax candles have been used exclusively in the Catholic Church for centuries? According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “The pure wax extracted by bees from flowers symbolizes the pure flesh of Christ received from His Virgin Mother, the wick signifies the soul of Christ, and the flame represents His divinity.” 

Wooden Wick Care :

• Allow the first burn to be approximately 3-4 hours which ensures a large initial melt pool has adequate time to form.
• Trim your wooden wick to 1/4" - 1/8” short every time before lighting by using a wick trimmer, or simply break off the top charred layer of wood. If you do not trim the wooden wick before lighting, your flame will not stay lit.
• Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time.
• Never leave burning candle unattended.
• Candle jar is HOT. Never handle while burning.
• Keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects such as curtains.
