Behind the Inspiration
The prophet Isaiah foretold that "nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising" (60:3) and that "They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD" (60:6). And in St. Matthew's gospel, we hear of "wise men from the East" who followed the light of a star and sought the newborn King of the Jews.
Braving distance, weather, and uncertainty, these magi did not stop until they found the child, and honored him. Epiphany means "manifestation" and on this feast we celebrate Jesus revealing himself as God to the world. These three kings are considered to be the first Gentiles to believe in Christ, and they represent the various nations of the world.
Befitting such a visit, the wise men brought treasures for the new king. Frankincense, myrrh, and gold were all valuable, but there is also a deeper meaning to each. Various interpretations of the gifts have been explored, particularly by the Church Fathers, popes, and theologians. Frankincense was used in worship and points to the divinity of the child; myrrh was used in embalming and points to Jesus' humanity, passion, and death; and gold symbolizes royalty and his kingship.
The Epiphany is a high point in the Christmas season, and is observed on January 6.
O God, who by the guidance of a star didst manifest thine only-begotten Son to the Gentiles, mercifully grant that we who know thee by faith may also attain the vision of thy glorious majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Holy Faith 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
This was my very first Corda candle. I was never a candle person until I ordered this on a whim during the Christmas season. The scent was so clean, yet it reminded me of the smells of beautiful cathedrals during Christmas. I know I spent even more time in my prayer space because this candle drew me into prayer more deeply. Everyone who walked into my home commented on how perfectly the candle complemented the season. I have since ordered many wonderful Corda candles, but this one remains my favorite.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Gifts for a King candle so much that I ordered another one before they were sold out. I appreciate the limited edition candles as they are produced for that liturgical time of year, but what do you do when you really like the scent and it won't be available? Order another for the remainder of the year: simple solution. I have not been disappointed with any of the candles. All of them burn great, and the scent is heavenly.
This candle smells divine! Love this company and their products!!!
I chose this scent for Lent. We have a saying, "It smells like Lent." This candle will be how we open prayer duringbthe 40 day journey. This Epiphany blend is perfect because it will remind us of who Jesus is as represented by frankincense and myrrh. Brilliant combination. Thank you so much!
