Behind the Inspiration
This cleansing, salty scent immediately reminds you of the sea. It is nuanced with soft florals, reminding us of Mary's gentleness and humble femininity.
Mary, Stella Maris is the patron saint of seafarers, and her prayers are also frequently invoked by those desiring her to guide them closer to her Son, as the North Star guides those upon the sea. Her feast day is September 27.
Hail, O Star of the ocean, God's own Mother blest, ever sinless Virgin, gate of heav'nly rest.
Taking that sweet Ave, which from Gabriel came, peace confirm within us, changing Eva's name.
Break the captive's fetters; Light on blindness pour; All our ills expelling, Every bliss implore.
Show thyself a Mother, may the Word divine born for us thine Infant hear our prayers through thine.
Virgin all excelling, mildest of the mild, free from guilt preserve us meek and undefiled.
Keep our life all spotless, make our way secure till we find in Jesus, joy for evermore.
Through the highest heaven, to the Almighty Three, Father, Son, and Spirit, one same glory be. Amen.
Mary, Stella Maris, 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
The first time I experienced this candle (and it truly IS an experience!) a friend had given it to me as a gift. I was so delighted by it, it’s now my favorite gift to give! Everyone should have a chance to enjoy this one. 💙 The Marian themed candles are a big hit for us at the House of Discernment!
I was very hesitant to purchase this candle, as floral and "ocean" scents aren't typically my preference. However, this scent is fresh and inviting, not too perfumy, and I really enjoy it. I recently experienced a time of stress when I didn't know what to do, so I lit this candle, which led to prayer, which led to peace. Thank you for connecting us to the communion of saints through scent, it is truly a gift. I've purchased more candles as gifts and can't wait to try out more for myself as well!

Smells like summer, and it's a treat to think of a Marian title very special to us while burning :)
The Stella Maris candle just arrived and I’ve lit it the past two nights! It has such a soft lovely smell and I just love that it’s inspired by one of my favorite titles of Our Lady! Anna, you’re doing beautiful work! Thank you!
Best gifts ever. Everybody I give one to loves it.
We love this candle, and it always gets incredible reviews from friends when gifted! Highly recommend!

Thanks for the review Grant! - the CORDA team
I prefer other fragrances to this as I think it is a little strong. Thank you for your lovely candles, Anna!
Thanks for giving this one a try, Janet, and for your feedback about the scent throw. I'll keep this in mind and see if maybe adjusting that is doable. And I appreciate your kind words about the candles, too! - Anna
