Light in Darkness
These peaceful scents of vetiver, ylang ylang, and jasmine are inspired by St. Dymphna.
Nuanced with notes of galbanum, chamomile, and myrrh.
Behind the Inspiration
When Dymphna’s Christian mother died, her pagan father, the king, fell into mental illness and ordered Dymphna to marry him. Having taken a vow of virginity, she refused and was martyred. She is the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions, and her candle’s scents can help calm anxiety.
St. Dymphna’s feast day is May 15.

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
I am impressed with the care/packaging in which candle was shipped. Love the smell.
I purchased this beautiful candle along with others as gifts for family and close friends. My only regret is that I’m not free to enjoy lighting this delightful Light in Darkness candle. When time and circumstance allow, I hope to purchase this one again for my own home.
I have begun lighting a candle as part of my morning prayer. St. Dymphna is very, very special to me and this scent reminds me of my heavenly friend.
Great! The candle came much earlier than I expected!! I bought it as a gift & couldn’t be happier!
Thank you
I love buying these candles as gifts!! I have a special someone in my life who needs to be reminded to find the light in the darkness so this was a great gift! Packaging is great and the candles themselves are top notch!
I find your essences so true to their Saint name. St. Dymphna desired a life in tranquil communion with God. Her beauty was admired and was treasured by others. She was a martyr who desired the love of God over all others. This essence is desirable yet totally innocent. It is beautiful in the most subtle ways of an aroma much admired. I was pleasantly surprised by its beauty.
Light in Darkness
Perfect candle- the scent is wonderful. Strong, but in no way overpowering. Delightful addition to our family prayers in the evening.
My daughter was overjoyed to receive this gift. She suffers from mental illness and I sent this gift as a pick me up on her down days and a reminder to pray!
I received my first 🕯️ candle, Light in Darkness. I love this scent. I light the candle when I’m reading scripture and it’s scent makes me feel peaceful and happy. Recommend this delightful candle.
