St. Joseph the Worker | Leather + Sawdust
These rugged scents of leather and sawdust are inspired by St. Joseph the Worker.
Notes of fresh cut wood and worn leather.
Behind the Inspiration
St. Joseph lovingly provided for his family through the work of his hands. Scripture tells us Jesus was "the carpenter's son" and Joseph is often depicted with the tools of his trade. The leather of his work apron and the sawdust from his cuttings inspired this candle.
He is the patron saint of the universal Church, workers, carpenters, fathers, travelers, and the dying, and his prayers are frequently invoked by those seeking employment and those trying to buy or sell a house. St. Joseph's feast day is May 1.
St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us.
Holy Men collection | 45+ hour burn time | 6 oz. candle
*This candle is also available in Spanish: Carpintería*
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
Just loveley! Gave it to my boss for his birthday which is on the Feast of St. Joseph and he and his wife both love it!
I was a little hesitant to order this scent but I am so glad I did as it has become one of my favorites personally and for giving to others. I appreciate that this scent is neither floral nor baked goods. It has proven to be a winner with men, women, and children, and having a little reminder of St. Joseph in one’s day is never a bad thing!
St. Joseph the Worker | Leather + Sawdust
I gifted this candle to my husband. He burns in the evenings after work. Perfect scent to reflect on the strength of St. Joseph
The scent is perfect not too strong but strong enough to make a whole room smell great. It really has the smell of leather and sawdust.
This was definitely a unique candle. I enjoyed the masculine scent when I was after the comforting presence of St Joseph
Wonderful scent! Peaceful, subtle, and indeed evokes St. Joseph. I stays next to my chair where I can either light it or just smell it at the start of prayer.
A sweet incense aroma. Absolutely perfect for the prayer room.
The scents that are combined to bring out the essence and presence of St Joseph in his quiet, but necessary work, bring our sense of smell to prayer, worship, and meditation. Even in our day to day life, this smell can remind us of the presence of St Joesph and remind us of his patient, watchful spirit and make him a reality right in our own homes.
The perfect candle for a St Joseph consecration! It has the most peaceful smell. I have several corda candles and it's my husband's absolute favorite. I catch him lighting it all of the time. Will be buying more of St Joseph the Worker.
