Saint Gregory the Illuminator Special Edition Candle

Connect with the Saint of Armenia with this beautiful candle!

This special edition Saint Gregory candle is bergamot scented.

Created in partnership with the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU). 100% of proceeds from the Saint Gregory The Illuminator candle will support humanitarian and medical aid programs in Artsakh, an Armenian region currently under attack by Azerbaijan.

Each SAINT Candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax (blessed by both a priest and a rabbi), and an Italian prayer coin embedded into the candle honoring the patron saint which reveals itself once the candle has burned down.

Prayer: "May the one who blessed our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, bless and heal those who are ill. May the blessed holy one be filled with compassion for their health to be restored and their strength to be revived. May God swiftly send them a complete renewal of body and spirit, and let us say. Amen."

Fragrance Notes: Bergamot, Rose & Violet, Musk & Sandalwood

Ira DeWitt, a music executive with a PhD in education, wanted to give her friend suffering from cancer something more purposeful than flowers or a card, something that evoked a sense of comfort and spirituality. Ira decided to create something herself, and this is how SAINT Candles, Modern Prayer Candles for a Cause, was born.  10% of all SAINT Candles sales are donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to support their lifesaving mission.
