This 10-inch thin memorial candle is made of pure beeswax and features an engraved Orthodox cross.
In the Orthodox Church, memorial candles are offered in prayer for the departed. The flame represents the soul’s offering to God and the hope of resurrection. Beeswax, made through the labor of creation, has long been used in Orthodox worship as a symbol of purity, sacrifice, and prayer.
This candle may be offered at church during memorial services or lit at home in remembrance of loved ones.
All candles sold through the ROC Sobor Store are blessed before being offered for sale.
