St. Michael the Archangel | Spices + Sandalwood + Incense *no foil*
*Please note: this candle currently has a label without foil due to printer delays.*
These celestial scents of spices, sandalwood, and incense are inspired by St. Michael the Archangel. He is the patron saint of police, soldiers, grocers, radiologists, doctors, mariners, paratroopers, the sick, and the dying, and he has been venerated as a healer from the time of the early Christians. His feast day, often called Michaelmas, is September 29.
Behind the Inspiration
The name "Michael" comes from the Hebrew and means, "Who is like God?" Jewish tradition holds that this was Michael's battle cry when defending heaven against Satan and all the evil spirits.
The incense in Battle Cry immediately brings to mind prayer and the Mass, reminding us of Heaven. The strong spices, which are a nod to his role as protector and defender, are softened by the sandalwood, which calls to mind his gentler role of accompanying the sick and the dying.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Holy Men 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
I was very disappointed that this expensive candle smelled more like cheep soap than anything else. I was hoping for the incense and spices to shine but not so.
Thanks for your feedback, Marcie, and thanks for giving the Battle Cry candle a try! Scents can be so personal and unique to different people! I just sent you an email to help further with this. - Anna
This is my second time ordering candles through Corda and I couldn’t be more pleased! The scents are incredible and the burn time is really good. I love being able to support a small Catholic business and have my prayer candles inspired by the Saints.
Thank you for your kind words and repeat order Madison! We are glad the candles help enhance your prayer! - the CORDA team
These candles quickly became my favorite - and I used to not be a candle person! I light them to bring a lovely scent to my kitchen or to bring a sense of reverence to my prayer space.
We used this candle when my brother celebrated Mass in our home. Even though we didn't have incense we had the St Michael the Archangel candle which was a close second to the real thing:) I love these candles and the extra reminders they give of the holy lives of Our Lord and the Saints.
Wow, what a beautiful experience! It is wonderful to hear that this scent was so meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing and for the review! - the CORDA team
We love using these candles!! St. Micheal the Archangel is a refreshing, clean fragrance! Love using it!! The customer service is the best! Anna cares about customers!
This reminds me of sitting in the presence of God in church. It is a beautiful candle scent. Peace!
This candle, as soon as it was lit, infused my home with love, prayer, and power. God bless!
I absolutely love the St Michael the Archangel candle! I've had many compliments on it when we have visitors in our home and I have it lit....I highly recommend it!!
The Corda candle I purchased was very fragrant. It burns well and I will not hesitate to purchase another one.
So glad you enjoyed Battle Cry, Paula. Thank you for your review! - the CORDA team
