Rosas en Invierno
Los aromas serenos de hojas de abeto y rosas castellanas se inspiran en la Virgen de Guadalupe.
*This candle includes a label and hang tag in Spanish. It is the Spanish version of the Roses in Winter candle.*
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.

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 ordered the candle that smells like roses, and I’m not disappointed.
I like what the candle comes in and the scents are strong and auromic. Better than Bath and Body's!
Not only are the candles beautifully packaged when received but there sent is incredible. There is Is not a hint of anything is anything artificial about the scent. I ordered these candles for friends after receiving one as a gift. I love the prayers in making the candles which adds to the gift tremendously.
My children wanted to give something Catholic inspired and in Spanish to their Spanish teacher. This was the perfect Christmas gift.Thank you so very much for offering Spanish language labels especially for Our Lady of Guadalupe. The scent was perfect for gifting as well fresh and not overwhelming.

Thanks for thinking of CORDA as a gift! We appreciate the review Fran! - the CORDA team
This candle is beautiful and not overpoweringly floral. It's a wonderful candle to have burning near a Marian icon or statue.
We are happy that you loved this candle and are glad it is incorporated into your prayer! Thanks for the review Mary! - the CORDA team
This is a beautiful candle. The scent is something like spicy roses if you can imagine. It's a little strong for me, but I purchased it for my daughter and I think it will be perfect for her. She's bilingual and has a great love for Our Lady of Guadalupe so I thought this was perfect.
Thanks for the review and feedback on the scent Joan. We hope your daughter loves the candle! - the CORDA team
