Candle Types & Their Sacred Purpose
Candles are more than just carriers of flame—they are vessels of meaning, memory, and prayer. Each type of candle carries a sacred purpose, a unique symbolism rooted in tradition, function, and material. Whether used for rituals, decoration, or quiet reflection, the type of wax, color, and context all play a role in how a candle is experienced spiritually and emotionally.
Understanding the different candle types helps us choose with intention—selecting not only for beauty or scent, but for deeper connection. Let’s explore the sacred purpose behind each kind of candle offered here.
Understanding Wax Types – Virgin, Soy, Beeswax & Recycled
Not all wax is the same—and in sacred spaces, the source matters. Virgin wax refers to wax that has never been lit before. It is fresh, clean, and pure—often chosen for spiritual occasions like baptisms and sacraments.
Soy and beeswax are natural, eco-conscious options. Beeswax, in particular, has been used in churches for centuries and is known for its clean burn and soft scent.
Recycled wax, carefully collected from homes and churches, is purified and reused. It gives previously used candles a second life—perfect for those who honor sustainability and reverence. Each type, marked clearly on our site, holds its own intention and purpose.
