Proclamation of the Kingdom Rosary Candle

This is a hand poured small batch beeswax candle inspired by the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. This candle, inspired by third mystery- The Proclamation of the Kingdom, is scented with a thoughtful custom blend of fragrance notes including Lavender, White Sage, Cedar, and Sandalwood.

Inspiration behind the scent :

After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15)

Lavender is a symbol of purity and grace, and the color purple symbolizes royalty in relation to the "Kingdom of God." Traditionally, lavender is a soothing scent in which the oil extracted from the plant helps with focus and calmness, especially during times of prayer. White Sage beautifully compliments the calming scent of lavender.

The Galilean hills, where Jesus returned, are considered to have been heavily forested in early times with an abundance of trees, amongst them is the cedar tree. Sandalwood is often called "aloes" in the bible, and symbolizes joy and happiness. 

All materials and fragrances 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.”

Candle Care Instructions : 

• Never leave burning candle unattended. 
  
• Allow the first burn to form a complete melt pool before extinguishing.
  
• Trim wick 1/4” to 1/8” short each time before lighting. 
  
• Keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects such as curtains.
  
• Do not burn longer than 3-4 hours at a time.
  
• Extinguish the flame with a snuffer or by dipping the wick into the wax pool with a metal object- this will eliminate the chance of soot build-up and smoke.
