What You're Getting
The Beeswax Candles
These are 100% organic beeswax candles, each 12 inches tall and 1/4 inch thick, handmade in Greece with a cotton wick. They contain no lead or metal. At 1/4 inch thickness these candles are slimmer than standard 3/8 inch candles. Since beeswax is softer than regular wax, they can be bundled together. Each pack weighs one kilogram (2.2 pounds).

The Holy Saturday and Holy Fire Tradition
These candles are made in Greece and used in the Holy Saturday and Holy Fire celebrations. The Holy Fire is one of the most sacred events in the Orthodox Christian calendar, and beeswax candles are the traditional choice for that occasion. They create a remarkable atmosphere of peace and joy during worship gatherings. For Messianic and early Christian devotional items see our messianic collection.
The Properties of Beeswax
Beeswax candles produce a pure, clean-burning flame with very little smoke. They burn cleaner and longer than regular paraffin candles. Beeswax releases negative ions as it burns, which helps clean the air in the space. The Bible recommends beeswax candles for burning on all sorts of occasions. For other worship accessories to pair with your candles see our incense burners collection.
Using Your Beeswax Candles
For Worship, Prayer, and Meditation
Light one or several candles during personal prayer, Bible reading, or group worship. The clean flame and minimal smoke make these a practical and reverent choice for any prayer setting. For Holy Land devotional items to complement your prayer space see our Jordan River holy water collection.

Storage and Care
Storing Your Beeswax Candles
Keep candles upright or lying flat in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Since beeswax is softer than paraffin, avoid storing them in warm spaces where they may bend or stick together unintentionally.
Caring for Your Beeswax Candles
Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use for a clean, even burn with minimal smoke. Wipe any wax drips from holders while the wax is still soft for easy cleanup. To learn more about Holy Land Market and our products visit the about Holy Land Market page.
