Poverello
These humble scents of cypress, stone, and earth are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
Nuanced with notes of moss, water, minerals, and patchouli.
Behind the Inspiration
This “little poor man,” as Francis called himself, joyfully gave up all he had to follow Christ, embracing a life of radical poverty. Cypress calls to mind the area around Assisi where he roamed, begging for stones to rebuild God’s church and preaching the peace of the Gospel, while earth recalls his humility and love of creation.
St. Francis’s feast day is October 4.
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
The CORDA scented candles are so amazing the smell, the beauty and the message! Heaven scent!! Thank you !!
Great candles & I love the spiritual connection!
I have purchased all of Corda candles scents! There is not one that I don't like. With that being said Poverello is my absolute favorite one now. It's a must have for sure.
I love my candles so much and recommend them to everyone. As I work at St. Francis of Assisi, the poverello candle keeps me working with the Parish and keeps me connected through the sense of smell. I love walking into my office and smell the candle even though I haven't lit it yet. That is sign of a peaceful candle.
Beautiful
Poverello
The Poverello candle has a wonderful, subtle scent. I always enjoy Corda Candles and their customer service is second to none!
I am drawn to the presentation of things and the new packaging is complimentary to the product, high end & thought provoking.
A lovely new scent that reminds me of a recent visit to Assisi.
I have almost each one of Corda's candles and I love them all! My newest favorite is the Poverello (St. Francis of Assissi).
