St. Padre Pio | Odor of Sanctity + Coffee
Regular price $18.50/
These fragrant scents of the odor of sanctity and coffee are inspired by St. Padre Pio. He is the patron of civil defense volunteers, youth, Pietrelcina, stress relief, and January blues. Padre Pio's feast day is September 23.
Behind the Inspiration
The "odor of sanctity" is a well-documented phenomenon, experienced by believers and skeptics alike, that sometimes emanates from holy men and women. It is particularly connected with those bearing the stigmata, including Padre Pio. Rather than these open wounds smelling offensive, there are pleasant smells of flowers, perfume, and the like.
Coffee is connected with the more earthly side of Padre Pio's life. He spent hours in the afternoon responding to the correspondence he received from all over the world, and would often have a bowl of coffee to help him get through it all. And if you know coffee lore, you've probably heard that "cappuccino" derives its name from the Capuchin habit.
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
Each candle is handcrafted with CORDA's proprietary all-natural coconut wax blend, custom phthalate-free fragrances, and a cotton and paper wick primed with all-natural wax. Learn more about the ingredients here.
