**Limited Edition** Available only October 1 - November 30.
These contemplative scents of cherry and violet are inspired by St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. She is the patron saint of sick people and of the loss of parents. Elizabeth's feast day is November 8.
This candle was commissioned by the Abiding Together podcast to pair with their 2021 Lenten study of This Present Paradise by Claire Dwyer. Your purchase of this candle helps support SOLT (Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity), podcast host Sr. Miriam James Heidland's religious order. So far, we've donated $3,300+ to SOLT - thank you!*
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 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

Kathryn Reliford I bought 2 of these candles. I gave 1 as a gift and kept 1. I lite this in the early morning when I start my prayer time. The fragrance reminds me of this Beautiful quiet Saint. As an OCDS member I feel she present with me. Thank You So Much!🙏🏻

Jeanne B. So very pleased with the beautiful scent of this candle! After reading "This Present Paradise" by Claire Dwyer, I was convicted to learn more about St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. Burning this beautiful candle is perfect while digging into research about this inspiring saint. I also gave some away as gifts this Christmas season...such a great way to light a fire in others (no pun intended) to learn more about the saints! The scent is just so lovely. Highly recommend both the candle and the book:)
Thank you for your great work!

Bernadette Marcum I belong to a small group of women who share our faith, hope and love. We call our group, Life in Christ and often use books and episodes from Abiding Together. We loved reading and discussing St Elizabeth of the Trinity. I was thrilled to share these candles with my dear friends.

Kristen Perreault This candle is absolutely lovely. It burns evenly and the smell is refreshing and not at all over powering like most candles can be. I will definitely buy from Corda Candles again.

Karen White These candles smell wonderful...so unique and well thought out blends. I love that they use essential oils because I do not do well with synthetic fragrance. I love the individual Saints themes!! Would recommend these for anyone looking for high quality unique candles. They make great gifts too.

Elizabeth Fryman Great value and beautiful scents! Make wonderful gifts, too!!
