Advent Wreaths and Candles

This Christ Candle features an image of the Holy Family.

The Christ Candle is any large white candle which is used from the end of Advent through the Christmas season. It is decorated it with symbols of Christ. Typically it is lit on Christmas Eve to show that the Light of the World has arrived. The practice continues until Epiphany. Some families continue to light the Christ candle throughout the year at Sunday dinner to remind the family members of our waiting for Christ, until He comes again, as well as celebrating His birth and Resurrection.

This pillar measures 3" by 12" and is made in the U.S.A.
