Create a place of peace and prayer with faith-based candles
CORDA bridges the sacred and the secular, bringing the faith to everyday moments.
We create and custom blend our signature scents in house and handcraft them into candles through 20+ steps. Complemented with a modern design and sustainable ingredients, these are saint candles like you've never seen, or smelled, before!
The fruit of love and prayer, each candle draws on the richness of our devotions, liturgy, and tradition, as well as the day to day lives and heavenly patronages of holy men and women. May the light of their lives point us to the Light of the World.

Gifts for a King, inspired by the Epiphany
These regal scents of frankincense and myrrh are inspired by the Epiphany.
The wise men brought the Christ Child valuable gifts, each having a deeper meaning. Gold symbolizes his royalty and kingship. Frankincense, used in worship, points to his divinity. Myrrh, used for anointing during burials, reminds us of his humanity, and prefigures his passion and death.
The feast of the Epiphany is January 6.
Roses in Winter, inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe
These serene scents of fir needles and Castilian roses are inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Mary appeared to St. Juan Diego as a pregnant woman of native descent, bringing a message of motherly comfort and hope. As proof of her appearance, Castilian roses were inexplicably found blooming in the dead of winter. The tilma that held the roses miraculously bears her image even to this day.
The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12.
Poverello, inspired by St. Francis of Assisi
These humble scents of cypress, stone, and earth are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
This “little poor man,” as Francis called himself, joyfully gave up all he had to follow Christ, embracing a life of radical poverty. Cypress calls to mind the area around Assisi where he roamed, begging for stones to rebuild God’s church and preaching the peace of the Gospel, while earth recalls his humility and love of creation.
St. Francis’s feast day is October 4.
