Saint Agatha Candle
Regular price $ 65.00
SYMBOL OF PURITY AND VIRTUE
Saint Agatha is often seen as a symbol of purity and virtue. Her story underscores the importance of maintaining one's faith and moral values in the face of adversity and temptation, which is a message that remains relevant in today's world.
ASSOCIATION WITH BREAST AILMENTS
Given the specific torture Agatha endured, her story has become associated with breast-related ailments, particularly breast cancer. Devotees began to pray to Saint Agatha for her intercession and assistance in cases of breast cancer and other diseases or conditions affecting the breasts.
INSPIRATION AND DEVOTION
Saint Agatha's life story and her unwavering faith in the face of persecution serve as an inspiration to many Christians today. Her dedication to her beliefs and her willingness to endure torture and martyrdom rather than renounce her faith resonate with believers who face challenges to their faith in contemporary times.
Each candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax, and a prayer coin embedded into the candle. Before the first lighting, read out loud the prayer to the patron saint, then light the candle. Once the wax has burned all the way down after many uses, remove the coin at the bottom and keep it in your wallet, purse, or car - or bury it in your yard as a way of blessing the entire household.
14 oz. (10.5 oz. pour), ~80 hour burn time
Measures 4" H x 3"D
When using the candle for the first time, leave it to burn for 2 or 3 hours, until all the wax has become liquid on the surface.
Regularly cut the wick with the wick trimmer (ideal length 3-5 mm).
Be sure to centre the wick in the wax after each use for consistent consumption of the wax.
