Holy Family Set

One of my favorites!

The Memento Mori candle is definitely one of my favorite Corda candles. It is my "go to" candle during the yearly Lenten season and the All Hallows Eve triduum. The scent is a great reminder for me to be engaged in deeper prayer during these seasons of the church. Thank you for creating this candle.

Always love these candles

I bought this set, they have made great gifts for friends this Fall and I also use the candles personally for my prayer time in the morning. They are lovely and I find such a nice touch to help me enter into prayer!

Loved Them!

Our Altar and Rosary Society ordered tea lights individually boxed as a favor for our Communion Breakfast! They were a hit! Arrived on time and in perfect condition.

Candles ordered

I had ordered candles from Corda during a fundraiser. I was impressed with the quality of the candles and the beautiful aromas. I recently sent some to my sister in law for her birthday. She loves them. We were very happy with the product and the service.

Seconds “Shower of Roses” Great Candle

The quality of the candle is great. I think the flaw may have been that the wax wasn’t even completely in the center of the candle. It burns like normal and flaw isn’t noticeable. Fragrance is beautiful.

Restless Heart - get calm and focused

This scent is soothing and calming. I bought one for my daughter's birthday and gave it to her in September. It was so good, I ended up buying two more! (Have one burning now - smile). I noticed hers is almost gone and October is only just beginning... !

This is a new favorite, until I discover another new favorite...
