Beautiful 18" tapered baptismal candle. Our most popular Matheo design and with the addition of tulle and a gold byzantine cross in the center adorning the candle bow. Color choice applies to top ribbon.
Our candles are virtually dripless. However, if you would like a wax catcher, please note this in the order comments at checkout and we will happily provide you one free of charge.
*** Candle orders that do not ship ground (ship 3day express or faster) may incur an additional ship charge due to the over - sized nature of the package. ***
. ***About Baptismal Candles: Baptismal candles are central to the baptismal ceremony and usually include one large decorated white candle for the ceremony and smaller, more basic, candles to be carried by the children who participate in the ceremony. The main baptismal candle is typically 24” to 32" in height (but may be any length of choice) and decorated with bows, tulle satin, or organza. It can be a tapered candle or a heavier, thick candle – depending upon the preference of the Godparents. After the Sacrament of Baptism, while the baby is being dressed into the new baptismal clothing, the children are called to the altar and hold their baptismal candle. When the baby returns to the altar, the main decorated baptismal candle is lit. The priest, the godparents and the children – with their candles lit – walk around the font three times - symbolizing a dance of celebration for the baby who has newly entered into the church.
