**Limited Edition** Available only January 1 - February 28.
These amorous scents of cedar, pomegranate, and apple are inspired by the Song of Songs.
Behind the Inspiration
Also know as the Canticle of Canticles and the Song of Solomon, this love poem at the heart of the Bible shows us the heart of God, who pursues us as a lover and Bridegroom. And the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that "Tradition has always seen in the Song of Solomon a unique expression of human love, a pure reflection of God's love--a love 'strong as death' that 'many waters cannot quench'" (1609).
Cedar is present throughout the Song, with both the bride and groomed perfumed with it. Pomegranate references the bride, with apple connected to the bridegroom. And the scents remind us of the holy temple and God's espousal of his people Israel.
In the writings of the Church Fathers and the saints, the Song of Songs is one of the most commented upon books. St. Thérèse, for example, wrote: "If I had time, I would like to comment on the Song of Songs. I have discovered in this book such profound things about the union of the soul with her beloved." While on their deathbeds, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John of the Cross both requested that the Song be read. Pope St. John Paul II meditated upon it whilst writing his Theology of the Body, and St. Teresa of Avila wrote an entire commentary on it.
A great starting point to learn more about the Song of Songs is in Dr. Brant Pitre's Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.
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
I love the Corda candles. They burn evenly and the scents are so different. This “Sweeter than mine” scent is very subtle and soothing and leaves the room smelling of apples. Thank you, Anna.
Perfect blend. Such a heavenly scent. Love every candle I have purchased. Thank you
I have ordered several times & each candle is a delight. I would have a difficult time deciding which fragrance I loved the best. Keep up the good work you do Anna!
Beautifully scented, brings such peace to my house! On rainy days it brightens the room! Thank you for these clean, lovely scents. I am so picky about what I burn in my house, and these candles are such an answered prayer. Thank you!
I bought 4 candles. I'm using them in Easter gift baskets. So we have not lit any of the candles yet because they have not been given as gifts yet. They did arrive very promptly after being ordered. We look forward to trying them. Good luck with your sales. Diane Latour
I have been enjoying this candle’s scent. I was a bit hesitant at first, wondering if the scent would be too sweet, but I had no cause for worry. The scent is crisp and subtle. I would definitely buy it again.
The scent from this candle was perfect. Thank you..
These candles are a great gift to me — I got one for each of my bridesmaids as one of their bridesmaids gifts and I can’t WAIT to give them something so beautiful, unique, and thoughtful. Thank you so much, Anna!
I received several tea light candles as a favor at a Women's Retreat. They smelled so fabulous and had a long burn time for a tea light candle. I ordered 5 jar candles to give as gifts (and one for me too!) They are divine.....truly!
These candles are fantastic! They scents are true to the descriptions, and they burn for a really long time--I have yet to to get through a whole candle, and I burn candles a lot. I love that each candle has a deep meaning behind its scent and that I can find the perfect candle to go with each of the liturgical seasons. I am pretty selective about the candles that I buy, and these definitely pass the test!
