4x11 Inch Yellow Beeswax Pillar Candle

Pure Beeswax — A Centuries-Old Catholic Tradition

For centuries, the Catholic Church has called for pure beeswax candles on her altars. The humble honeybee, a symbol of purity and industry, produces wax that has long been seen as representing the pure human nature of Christ — virginal, untainted, and offered in sacrifice. When you light a beeswax candle, you are participating in a tradition as old as the Church herself.

This stunning 4 x 11 inch yellow beeswax pillar candle is handcrafted in small batches in Pennsylvania from 100% pure, natural beeswax sourced from trusted Eastern and Northeastern USA apiaries. With its warm golden glow and gentle natural honey scent, it is a worthy addition to your home altar, prayer corner, liturgical celebrations, or any sacred space.

A Note on Private Prophecy

Many faithful Catholics keep blessed beeswax candles in their homes in light of the private prophecies of saints and mystics such as Blessed Anna Maria Taigi and others, who foretold a time of great chastisement — known among Catholics as the Three Days of Darkness — during which, it is said, only candles made of pure blessed wax would give light. While private prophecy is not binding on the faithful, these traditions are held with great reverence by many devout Catholics who wish to be spiritually and practically prepared.

A Note on Blessings

This candle is sold unblessed. Blessings are freely given by God through His priests and cannot be bought or sold. Simply bring your candle to your priest and ask for his blessing — a beautiful and simple act of faith that we warmly encourage.
