Wedding At Cana Rosary Candle

This is a hand poured small batch beeswax candle inspired by the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. This candle, inspired by second mystery- The Wedding at Cana, is scented with a thoughtful custom blend of fragrance notes including Violet, Red Wine, Cherry, and Saffron.

Inspiration behind the scent : "On the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.' And Jesus said to her, 'O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.' His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you"' (John 2:1-5).

Let us meditate upon the miraculous event which occurred at The Wedding at Cana, while filling our prayer space with the scents of Violet, Red Wine, Cherry, and Saffron. The violet flower symbolizes the humility shown by Mary's intervention at the Wedding at Cana. Red Wine to help us remember the wine that Jesus created from water, cherry to round out the fragrance with a bit of sweetness, and finally, Saffron to add a hint of woods and mystery.

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

Your candle is made with :

• Beeswax sourced from American beekeepers from the Midwest.
• A small amount of Organic Coconut Oil added to assist with scent throw and burn. 
• Clean Phthalate-Free Fragrance Oils
• 100% Cotton Wick I personally primed with beeswax to ensure a proper burn.

All Wedding at Cana candles will include a special Holy Card with an image of The Wedding of Mary and Joseph- on the reverse is one of the Collect prayers from the Catholic Wedding Mass, along with two inspirational quotes by Saints on marriage. Perfect for a Catholic wedding gift!

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.
