Our jar candle packaging now shares the story behind the inspiration! Learn morehere.
These peaceful scents of vetiver, ylang ylang, and jasmine are inspired by St. Dymphna.
Nuanced with notes of galbanum, chamomile, and myrrh.
Behind the Inspiration When Dymphna’s Christian mother died, her pagan father, the king, fell into mental illness and ordered Dymphna to marry him. Having taken a vow of virginity, she refused and was martyred. She is the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions, and her candle’s scents can help calm anxiety.
St. Dymphna’s feast day is May 15.
Jar candle: 6 oz with a 45 hour burn time | Tealight sampler: 3 oz total with a 18 hour burn time

I love Corda candles! The scent is light and calming which ties in so well with the saint the candle was inspired by (St. Dymphna, the patron saint of purity and those suffering nervous and mental afflictions).

The perfect gift!
These candles are more than beautiful. Light in the darkness is a perfect gift for someone going through a rough time. I love this candle company and the prayerful calm when you light one!

I purchased this beautiful candle along with others as gifts for family and close friends. My only regret is that I’m not free to enjoy lighting this delightful Light in Darkness candle. When time and circumstance allow, I hope to purchase this one again for my own home.
