Where to buy church wax candles?

Traditionally, the sale of candles was centralized in small craft workshops and candle shops. These small family organizations have been the main source of supply of religious articles made with wax for churches, sanctuaries, convents, cathedrals, and all kinds of religious organizations and brotherhoods.

The process of buying wax candles has undergone a significant evolution in recent decades. Family-owned chandlery and workshops underwent an industrialization process similar to that of other productive sectors.

The workshops modified their manufacturing methods. Gradually, the hands of the workers were replaced by specialized machines. Advances in the chemical industry brought new raw materials that revolutionized the candle manufacturing process. Beeswax, known as animal wax, was gradually replaced by mineral wax (known as paraffin or liquid wax).

Although there is still a wide demand for beeswax candles, nowadays, most of the candles, candles, Easter candles, votive offerings, small lamps, tealights, ... that burn every day in our churches are manufactured with refined paraffin.

The liquid wax (or paraffin) with which candles are made can have different levels of refinement. The higher the level of refinement of the liquid wax, the lower the odors and smoke, the better the combustion and the use of the candle.

In Religious Articles we choose highly refined liquid wax to manufacture the church candles that we sell in our online store. Most of the candles that we sell are lit inside the temples, often on the altar or in places of special religious and heritage importance.

For this reason, it is very important that the candles, while burning, emit the minimum amount of odors, which can disturb the faithful and priests during the liturgical celebration, and smoke, which can damage images or altarpieces of high aesthetic, religious and spiritual value. patrimonial.
