Crafted for the Sacred
Cathedral Candle Company's 51% Beeswax Altar Candles bring a centuries-old tradition of reverence to every sanctuary. Handcrafted from the finest pure natural beeswax, each candle burns longer, cleaner, and more dependably than paraffin alternatives, a quiet testament to the care that belongs at the altar.
The Significance of Beeswax
The Church's long-standing preference for beeswax is rooted in theology: the wax is symbolic of the purity of Christ Himself. Cathedral Candle Company honors this tradition with candles that are guaranteed and stamped, ensuring your parish receives an authentic, compliant product worthy of liturgical use.
What You'll Receive
- Handcrafted altar candles with a minimum 51% pure natural beeswax content
- Choice of Plain End, Self-Fitting, or All Purpose end types to suit your candlestick holders
- Multiple diameter and height options (from 7/8" x 5" up to 1-1/8" x 15") sold by the box
- Guaranteed and stamped for liturgical compliance
A Note on Performance
For the most satisfactory and economical burn, candle followers are strongly recommended. Followers help preserve the wax, reduce dripping, and extend the life of each candle, an important consideration for parishes managing ongoing liturgical budgets.
Sizing & End Types
Select the dimensions and end type that best fit your existing candlestick holders. Plain End candles fit standard socket holders; Self-Fitting candles feature a tapered base designed to fit a wider range of holders without additional adapters; All Purpose candles combine a flat bottom with a pre-scored taper, making them compatible with both socket and spike-style holders for maximum versatility. Box quantities vary by size.
