Stella Maris Beeswax Blend Candle

Introducing the "Immaculate Collection" beeswax coconut blend candles - inspired by Our Lady.

Surround yourself with the floral and airy scents of Our Lady, Star of the Sea also known as "Stella Maris."

Fill your sacred living space with the salty aroma of sea breeze, joined with the fragrance of honey and wildflowers blowing by the ocean shore. These scents are intentionally chosen as a reminder of Our Lady, Star of the Sea - always there to guide us through the storms. Light this candle to honor our Blessed Mother.

Hail, bright star of ocean, God's own Mother blest, Ever sinless Virgin, Gate of heavenly rest. Taking that sweet Ave Which from Gabriel came, Peace confirm within us, Changing Eva's name. Break the captives' fetters, Light on blindness pour, All our ills expelling, Every bliss implore. Show thyself a Mother; May the Word Divine, Born for us thy Infant, Hear our prayers through thine. Virgin all excelling, Mildest of the mild, Freed from guilt, preserve us, Pure and undefiled. Keep our life all spotless, Make our way secure, Till we find in Jesus, Joy forevermore. Through the highest heaven To the Almighty Three, Father, Son and Spirit, One same glory be. Amen.

--Ave Maris Stella hymn

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 and Instructions :

• 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.
