Our Lady of Guadalupe | Fir Needles + Castilian Roses
These serene scents of fir needles and Castilian roses are inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Notes of evergreen boughs, cedar, fresh cut roses, and musk.
Behind the Inspiration
When Mary appeared to the Mexican St. Juan Diego, she told him to tell the bishop to build a chapel at the apparition site. This was hard for the bishop to believe, and he told Juan Diego that he must have proof. When Juan Diego next saw Our Lady, she told him to go to a nearby hill and gather roses to give to the bishop. Despite the impossibility of roses growing in winter, Juan Diego obeyed and found beautiful roses that he gathered in his cloak and brought to show the bishop.
Upon opening his cloak, the roses fell to his feet, and the bishop recognized them as Castilian roses, which only grew in his native Spain. But even more miraculous was the image now seen on the cloak, that of a Mexican woman with child, standing on a moon and clothed in stars. This image, that of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is still visible almost 500 years later.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint of the unborn, the Americas, and Mexico, and her prayers are frequently invoked by expectant mothers, and for help with pregnancy and with prolife causes.
This apparition is the only time Mary has appeared pregnant, and it seems particularly meaningful since it occurred during Advent, when we remember how she carried Our Lord and prepared for his birth on Christmas Day. Her feast day is December 12.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
Holy Women collection | 45+ hour burn time | 6 oz. candle
You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight
Our Lady of Guadalupe | Fir Needles + Castilian Roses
All of Anna’s candles are amazing. Whether you are praying the Rosary, Divine Mercy, Liturgy of the Hours, the Psalms or just trying to have a few quiet moments, Anna’s candles bring you to a quiet, prayerful place. She has the ability to bring the Saints and the “odor of their sanctity” into your prayer time through her candles.
My all time favorite is “Our Lady of Guadalupe.” The scent conjures up images of Juan Diego’s Tilma spilling out Spanish roses in the Mexican winter. Roses and the clean scent of fir. Perfect for prayer! Perfect for a few minutes of solitude!
I gave these as a gift to my daughter in law. She loved them and couldn't say enough good about the candles and how much she loves them. She said they were very well packages, beautifully presented. The scents are long lasting and pleasant.
I purchased Corda candles after a friend recommended them. I was not disappointed! The candle scents are mild and calming. They are perfect form y morning and evening prayer time! The quality is great. I had an issue with my purchase - my error - and Anna was quick, helpful and kindly fixed my issue!
Absolutely love the scent of these candles! The scent is so fresh. Purchased for family for Easter.
Love my Corda candles.❤️Remind me of being out in a rose garden and the beautiful 🥀 scent lingers. Can wait to try some of the other scents.
I love this candle! The delicate scent of roses makes one think of our beautiful Mother. Even when I don’t have it burning and the lid is off I can smell it!
This candle smells so nice. All the candles look really nice. Perfect as a gift. Perfect on my home altar.
Since my daughter introduced me to your awesome Corda candles, I seem to want more. I have given them as gifts and it means a lot to our Christian friends to receive these special scented candles. I love them. May God reward you for your ministry.
This is my first Corda candle purchase after smelling it at a friends. Beautiful scent and my new favorite candle.
