Hi,

I see many ladies here have candles with saints and Jesus on them, and I have no idea where to find them to buy. I want to put them one our devotional table and one in our kitchen.

Could you please tell me where to look?
Cindy

Hi Cindy - I cannot use fragranced candles - so I buy from Colonial Candle. I would prefer beeswax - but these are so much more expensive.

I have several that came from the grocery store,usually from the international foods section, with the Hispanic foods. They are just paraffin candles, but they come in tall votive holders with various religious pictures on them. Are those the type you're looking for?

Peace,
Nancy

Any good Catholic shop should have them in stock or will be able to order them for you.

I too buy mine in the Hispanic section of the grocery store or at the Hispanic grocery store. If you can't find them there, I know Leaflet Missal has quite a nice selection of these candles you can order on-line. (Sorry, I don't have the link to their web site. It's easy to find if you Google it.)
