**Seconds** These candles have minor cosmetic blemishes: for example, markings on the glass or a slightly oblong shape. They come in a kraft CORDA box, but will not have the white outer sleeve with the candle name, scent notes, and story behind the inspiration.
These humble scents of cypress, stone, and earth are inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
Nuanced with notes of moss, water, minerals, and patchouli.
Behind the Inspiration
This “little poor man,” as Francis called himself, joyfully gave up all he had to follow Christ, embracing a life of radical poverty. Cypress calls to mind the area around Assisi where he roamed, begging for stones to rebuild God’s church and preaching the peace of the Gospel, while earth recalls his humility and love of creation.
St. Francis’s feast day is October 4.

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
I loved everything about this candle—from the inspiration of St. Francis of Assisi to its amazing scent. I first experienced it as a tea light and loved it, so I bought a large one and gave it to my pastor as a gift. He reminds me of St. Francis's humility.
I can’t figure out what made this candle a “second”. The scent is wonderful and it looks lovely. It’s a high quality. Every purchase from Corda has been easy and the candles arrive in short order. It’s always fun to support a small business with high quality items.
I love the Poverello candle! I ordered it from the Seconds Sale and have been so impressed by it. People keep stopping by my office to comment on how wonderful it is as well. Would definitely recommend!
