100 percent raw beeswax, naturally dyed
 
"When the Church celebrates the liturgy of Advent each year, she makes present this ancient expectancy of the Messiah, for by sharing in the long preparation for the Saviors first coming, the faithful renew their ardent desire for His second coming." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 524)
 
These all-natural beeswax candles celebrate the Advent season by glorifying God through His own creation. The use of beeswax candles in Catholicism is an ancient tradition that many Catholics like to bring into their homes. These will bring environmental and spiritual health and warmth during the winter nights as we anticipate the arrival of the Light of Christ at Christmas.
 
Why do Catholics use Beeswax Candles?
Clayton Bower Jr. wrote this beautiful explanation of beeswax candles for Catholic Answers: 
“The pale wax of the candle symbolizes Christ’s flesh, his sacred humanity. The wick, embedded in the centre of the candle, represents his soul. The flame, as it burns down the wick, consumes the wax to give us light. It burns, expending itself, sacrificing itself, just as Christ sacrificed himself. The burning candle is aesthetically pleasing, and it gives a sweet aroma as it burns, another reminder of the presence of our Lord.
The wax produced by the honeybee is considered the sweetest and purest, the most appropriate for symbolizing the humanity of Christ.
It is produced by the bees actually consuming honey (honey itself is a symbol for the superlative in sweetness, the sweetness of the Word of God). Christ identifies himself as the Light of the World and he says in Luke 12:49, “I have come to light a fire on the Earth. How I wish the blaze were ignited!” A flame will spread to what it touches.
The candle also symbolizes Christ’s presence in the individual believer. The Easter Vigil shows this when the new flame is lit, blessed, and touched to the tapers held by members of the congregation, The light spreads from one to the next.”
