Description:

Each candle represents Christ's faithful presence in our minds. Light this Assorted Cross Paschal Candle every Sunday throughout the Easter season, starting Easter Sunday and often until Ascension Day. We have used these catholic items in the church to help spread the word and give glory to God as they enhance your sanctuary, prompting a richer prayer experience through the beautiful symbolism of the light of a candle. A candle's presence will be a perfect reminder that there is always brightness in a life with Christ.

A huge, white candle known as a Paschal candle is used in Western Christian rituals (The Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, and Lutheran churches, among others). Every year during Easter, a fresh Paschal candle is blessed and lighted. It is used for the whole Paschal season, which lasts from Easter through the rest of the year, on important events like baptisms and funerals.

Each Paschal Candle from Will & Baumer® is created with aesthetics and liturgical tradition in mind. Handmade using 51% beeswax, these candles burn steadily and smokelessly for a long time.

Each Paschal candle comes with paschal nails.
