Novena candle white - Saint Rita

Novena candles burn for nine days & nights, hence they are also called 9-day burners. These candles are often burned to seek comfort/strength & express special wishes during difficult times (e.g. illness, bereavement, exams...). You can also burn a novena candle for a family member, friend, acquaintance.... and make a wish for them. The novena candle is associated with the novena. This is a series of nine days during which people pray to God, often in preparation for a feast day (e.g., the Pentecost Novena). The candle reinforces the prayer.

This 9-day burner depicts St. Rita. She is known as the patroness of the "hopeless cases," and symbolizes that nothing is impossible.

Features of our novena candles:

Our quality novena candles are odorless and made from pure & vegetable oil. So you won' t have to deal with black smoke! The candles provide a fairy flame. Thanks to the protective casing, novena candles are also relatively safe to place indoors.

These prayer candles are available in different colors (topped by the red & white variety) but also with the image of various saints (e.g. Saint Rita, Father Pio...). Thus, prayers can be made to various saints with a specific purpose or wish, to which that saint is associated. 9-day burners are also often used during times of mourning and commemoration (e.g., All Saints' Day). They bring light to times of darkness.

These religious candles can be used indoors in a church, chapel or in your own home. Always place the nine-day burner in a safe place so that no children or pets can reach it. Would you like to use the 9-day burner outdoors (e.g., on a tombstone)? If so, we recommend placing a crown on top of the candle for protection from rain & wind.

Our novena candles are intended to burn for approximately 9 days and nights, but the exact burn time may vary due to factors such as temperature, drafts, humidity and where the candle is placed. Place the candle in a draft-free, stable spot for best results.
