These contemplative scents of cherry and violet are inspired by St. Elizabeth of the Trinity.
Notes of sweet cherry, sandalwood, violet, almond, dewy foliage, and jasmine.
Behind the Inspiration
From the time she was little, Elizabeth knew that she wanted to be a nun, but it wasn't until the special summer of her 14th birthday that she realized God was calling her to be a Carmelite ("the word Carmel was pronounced in my soul," she later told her prioress). And during that summer, a good friend remembers her eating cherries that the locals called "Carmelites," joking "I do it to have a vocation."
Violet speaks to her life both before and after entering Carmel. When Elizabeth began writing poetry as a teenager, she used vibrant violet ink. She continued writing poetry the rest of her life, often composing works of prayer or for particular events, and has left us a tremendous spiritual treasure in her poems.
The scent of violet also draws on her religious name of Elizabeth of the Trinity and her special insight into that theological mystery. Violets have symbolized the Holy Trinity for centuries, due to the trinity of their colors and their leaves. Colloquially, they were called the "Trinity Flower" and in the Middle Ages, monks called them "herba trinitatis" or the "Herb of the Trinity."
St. Elizabeth is the patron saint of sick people and of the loss of parents. Elizabeth's feast day is November 8.
St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, pray for us.

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

Theresa The St. Elizabeth of the Trinity candle has a very subtle, soft scent. I can pick up the hints of cherry, but it's not an overwhelming fruity smell. It's a perfect balance between cherry and violet and creates a tranquil atmosphere. I also enjoyed reading the beautiful inspiration behind the candle.

Michelle Chandler Dear Anna,
Your candles are a source of divine inspiration. Our family received several as gifts, and now I am so grateful to do the same for others. This new edition from a favorite saint of mine is heavenly!

Laura Cavazos Beautiful soft fragrance which enhances prayer time

SEB This candle, like all of my Corda candles has such a unique, perfectly balanced scent. It's not overpowering. I would never have thought to combine violet and cherry, but I've discovered it's a beautiful, peaceful floral scent. Highly recommend.

VB Candles naturally evoke that sense of the divine, but the fragrance, the words and meaning add to the prayerful encounter. Beautiful product.

Karol Deasy After rereading the account of our Lady of Fatima, I think you need to rename this scent. In that account, it was reported that the boughs of the Holm Oak whereupon Our Lady appeared, there was an unknown but very pleasant fragrance—just like this candle that scents and purifies my home!.
