100% Beeswax Chrism Scented Pillar Candle

Chrism is the most important of the holy oils consecrated by the Bishop and is used in the administration of the Sacraments.  It is comprised of olive oil, balsam, and aromatics according the Bishop’s preference.  Olive oil, sacramentally, is an important symbol for the Sacraments.  Oil is fuel for the flame, a healing balm for the sick, a strengthening unguent for the athlete, and so naturally suggests illumination, assuaging of pain, and strength.  In the blessing of the balsam for the Chrism the Bishop says: “We entreat You to hear our prayers that these fragrant tears of the dry bark which, trickling down from a fruitful branch, supply us with a rich ointment for the anointing of the priesthood, may be made acceptable to You for Your sacraments and sanctify them by giving Your blessing… may it be seasoned for us, Lord, with a joyous faith; making it a lasting Chrism for the anointing of the priesthood; make it worthy to be used in impressing the sign of Your heavenly standard; that whoever after being born again by Your holy Baptism, shall be anointed with this ointment, may obtain the fullness of Your blessing in body and soul, and ever be enriched by the blessed faith given to them.”  The blessings go on to remember the use of oil in the Old Testament such as the anointing of King David, and speaks of Christ being the Anointed One.  Chrism is imposed at Baptism, Confirmation and Ordination, the Sacraments in which the person anointed receives a character, an indelible mark that forever changes his soul and conforms it more to Christ’s image.

This candle does not contain actual blessed Chrism.  But it is infused with olive oil, balsam and similar aromatics to mimic the scent and remind us of all “these” things that Chrism symbolizes for us.  This candle scent includes picholine olive and a sweet, woody balsam with accents of rosemary, olive leaf, thyme, and vetiver.  

These locally hand crafted beeswax scented pillar candles are 4"h x 3"d and are approximately 12 oz. each. These candles release negative ions when they burn, which purifies the air. They are made with 100% pure, gently triple-filtered, unbleached beeswax and 100% pure cotton wicks. 

These candles do not burn all the way to the edge, so as the candle burns, when the edges of the candle get soft enough, you gently hug, or pinch, in the sides toward the wick.  They take approximately 50 hours to burn.

1 candle per pack

Please note:  The candle is not blessed, but if you would like us to have it blessed before shipping it to you, we will be more than happy to have that done.  Please put a note in the comment section of your order at checkout.

– D.M., Northern Ireland

“Out of all of the on-line religious goods stores I've found, the articles on your website are all quality without the kitsch. I received my order of religious jewelry super fast. Thank you. I’m so happy to have a place to go when I need a quality sacramental.”

– Andrew, Colorado, USA

“Every item is absolutely beautiful! I have not encountered any other service, either online or brick-and-mortar establishment, that offers items of the same exquisite quality as your sacramentals. The aesthetic beauty is not only pleasing to the eye but inspires devotion in the heart and a more ardent desire to please God. I will definitely be using your wonderful service for most of my devotional needs! Thanks again! God bless you, Sisters.”

– Antonia, New York, USA

“Excellence is the Sisters trademark! As always, a smooth easy means of purchase, coupled with prompt shipping . The Items I have purchased over the years are always of superb quality and workmanship. I could not be more pleased.”

- Francis T Walsh

“I have now purchased at least a dozen brown scapulars from the Sisters of Carmel and have always received items of the utmost quality that wear very well. Adding to my satisfaction is that the Sisters charge a standard USPS shipping rate for the items, i.e., they do not add to one’s cost by charging inflated “shipping and handling” charges. Furthermore, my order was shipped one business day after I placed my order. We are all called by God to serve within the confines of His graces to us. The Sisters of Carmel are models of that calling.”

- Ed Shimkus

“I have received my orders from you and again want to thank you for them. The Blessed Sacrament and Seven Dolors chaplets are beautiful and will be treasured by me for many years. As others have said, the pictures on the web site don’t do them justice. I also want to thank you for the books you carry. They are clearly selected with the goal of deepening faith. It is wonderful to find a place where I can go and know that I will receive quality, not only of merchandise, but of faith. Again, thank you for the work you do.”

– Mary, Minnesota, USA

“I just received my scapular and crucifix along with the Miraculous Medals. I am so very pleased with the quality of the items! Truly the BEST on-line selection of sacramentals. Thanks so much! I will be ordering from you again soon.”

“Your website is like an oasis of good spiritual things! You do such magnificent work, the chaplets are amazing! The badges are like having good friends near, and your books are so nourishing to the soul. I feel so blessed to have found you. Thank you again, and you are in my prayers.”

– Laura, California, USA

“Unbelievable service – I received my order on Monday, exactly five days after placing it. Your customer service is outstanding. Everything was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The ceramic ornaments are lovely, and I can’t wait to add them to my Christmas tree this year. The exquisite suncatcher will be placed in my kitchen window where it will be appreciated every day. And as for the ‘In Paradisum’ CD, all I can say is it’s on continuous loop right now. I love early sacred choral music and have a collection of CD’s, but this one is stunningly beautiful and has become my new favorite.”

– Linda, North Carolina, USA

“I wanted to let you know that I received the Rosary that you created for us just a short while ago. Sisters, it has to be without exception the most beautiful Rosary I have ever held. It is exactly how I envisioned it and the size is perfect. You were also right about the beads; the color is exceptional! Thank you, thank you, thank you each and every Sister for doing such a perfect job and for putting up with us throughout this whole process. While rersearching this project, every time I looked elsewhere, I always seemed to be guided back to the Sisters of Carmel, and now I know why...PERFECTION!

– A Catholic Church, New York, USA

“I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional care you took in packing/shipping the books and other items in my order.... It’s the little extra touches like this that go a long way with the customer and lets them know how much you value their business.”

– R.C., New York, USA

“I received my sterling silver Pardon Crucifix yesterday. It was such a pleasure to receive it. Everything was packaged and presented with such care and finesse. The crucifix was crafted with such intricate and beautiful details that it does not do justice to look at it through the Internet. One has to order it to relish what a beautiful piece of art it is. Again, the manner you package the crucifix, the enclosures contained within, and the quality of craftmanship itself has totally exceeded my expectations.”

– K.W.C.

“I recently purchased a cord rosary from the Sisters of Carmel. I have to say the quality and craftsmanship was far beyond my expectations. I was so impressed I ordered two more rosaries as gifts. God bless the Sisters of Carmel and God bless your ministry! Your rosaries, in my opinion, are of the finest quality anywhere.”

- Chris

“When I asked my priest to bless my new scapular, it took his breath away by its handmade beauty. I told him it had been made with loving hands by the Sisters of Carmel. I felt the Holy Spirit say to give it to him. I did. He was overwhelmed. I ordered another one for myself and it arrived today. I love it. It is so beautiful. I will kiss it every day. I am eager to have it blessed tomorrow and wear it immediately. Thank you.”

– Anonymous
