Two hand-poured tapers are made of 100% pure beeswax. Candles are 10" and fit most standard 7/8" sockets. All-natural, beeswax tapers give a wonderful warm glow. Perfect for the dining room, a sideboard, the living room or lighted before a small family shrine of our Lady for prayers. They are nearly drip less in draft free places.

Burn time is approximately 10-12 hours each

Candles come as a pair and are packaged in a clear sleeve bag.

These candles are made right here at the monastery by the nuns in small batches.

Why Beeswax?

-Beeswax contains no harmful chemicals sometimes found in paraffin candles

-Beeswax has a much longer burn time than paraffin candles.-They burn cleaner, hardly producing any soot.-The light they emit is clear, strong and bright.

- Beeswax is a renewable resource-Beeswax can be burned around those with allergies or those who are sensitive to chemical scents.

Symbolism of Beeswax candles: The pure wax extracted by virgin 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 which absorbs and dominates both. Although the two latter properties are found in all kinds of candles, the first is proper of beeswax candles only. Thus the great paschal candle represents Christ, "the true light", and the smaller candles are typical of each individual Christian who strives to reproduce Christ in his life

Looking for followers for your tapers? The followers from Leaflet Missal have been recommended to us (although we haven't tried them ourselves and so can't vouch for them!). They have three options for 7/8" candles: old style followers, high-polish bronze followers, and tapered brass followers.

fluted base stable in any holder

I agree with the other reviewer that these candles are quite superb. I'm used to inexpensive paraffin tapers, but these Beeswax Tapers are in another league entirely. I'll focus on one element. Notice the base in the pictures. The sisters have molded on a fluted, tapered base. This fluted base is slightly wider than a standard candle holder, but because it's fluted and the wax is slightly soft, it will deform easily to match the base perfectly as you gently push it in. Inexpensive supermarket tapers wobble until I use something like modeling clay to secure them. None of this is required with the Dominican tapers. That alone is worth the price. and they smell good.

Fanastic!!!

I have purchased these candles and they are true to their description. They create a lovely light and to not drip wax all over the place. They have a pure beeswax scent that is very pleasing. I am reordering more today

no title

I have used hundreds of 100% beeswax candles that I purchased from various vendors. They ALL burned in such a way that they dripped to varying degrees and there was a LOT of waste. These are without question the BEST beeswax candles I have ever used. There is little to no dripping/waste. And I love the fluted base that molds itself/adjusts to fit into various holders. The best part is they are made by Spouses of Christ and this is a small way I can support them! Thank you dear Sisters!

First you open the package and the wonderful smell of pure 100% beeswax greats your nose. They burn long, bright, and evenly (out of a draft of course). I highly recommend them.

The Perfect Candle

These candles burn slowly, cleanly, and evenly. The only dripping problems I've had is when the candles aren't sitting straight in the candleholder. A quick adjustment by me puts that right and prevents any further dripping. The faint smell of beeswax is wonderful.

Excellent Candles

I use these on my dining room table where they set a very nice atmosphere. The scent is a barely detectable beeswax and it is nice to support such devotion to Christ.
