Saint Benedict Candle

Connect with Saint Benedict, Saint of Peace and Protection from Evil, with this beautiful candle!

This Saint Benedict candle is Oliban scented.

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: "Saint Benedict, saint of peace and protection from evil, you practiced what you taught, humbly fulfilling God’s work for the benefit of all people. You know the many physical dangers that surround us today, often caused by human inventions or evil doers. Please guard us against poisoning of the body, mind, and soul, and be an advocate for our spiritual journey. Amen."

Fragrance Notes: Oliban, Smoke, Frankincense

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.
