Beeswax candles are part of the ancient traditions of the Catholic church that many Catholics want to bring into their homes. These lovely tapers are versitale and can be used anywhere around the home. We personally like to use them for Sunday evening meals as another way to make Sundays special.  We hope the warm glow and subtle sweet scent of these candles enhance the traditions and prayer life of your own home.

Why do Catholics use Beeswax Candles?
Clayton Bower Jr. wrote this beautiful explanation of beeswax candles for Catholic Answers:
“The pale wax of the candle symbolizes Christ’s flesh, his sacred humanity. The wick, embedded in the centre of the candle, represents his soul. The flame, as it burns down the wick, consumes the wax to give us light. It burns, expending itself, sacrificing itself, just as Christ sacrificed himself. The burning candle is aesthetically pleasing, and it gives a sweet aroma as it burns, another reminder of the presence of our Lord.
The wax produced by the honeybee is considered the sweetest and purest, the most appropriate for symbolizing the humanity of Christ.
It is produced by the bees actually consuming honey (honey itself is a symbol for the superlative in sweetness, the sweetness of the Word of God). Christ identifies himself as the Light of the World and he says in Luke 12:49, “I have come to light a fire on the Earth. How I wish the blaze were ignited!” A flame will spread to what it touches.
The candle also symbolizes Christ’s presence in the individual believer. The Easter Vigil shows this when the new flame is lit, blessed, and touched to the tapers held by members of the congregation, The light spreads from one to the next.”
