Hallowtide Candle Set

Long before Halloween belonged to the culture, it belonged to the Church. October 31 through November 2 form Hallowtide — a sacred triduum spanning All Hallows' Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day, when the whole family of God draws close: the faithful on earth, the saints in heaven, and the holy souls we carry in prayer. The Hallowtide Discovery Set keeps all three days lit, one candle at a time. Vigilia — All Hallows' Eve. Latin for "vigil," because that's what this night truly is: the Church's watch before the feast. Apple, pear, and warm spice settle into vanilla and amber — the scent of a home with the porch light on and hearts awake. Litany — All Saints Day. A prayer of names, and the Church's greatest one. Bergamot lifts like the first light of glory, myrrh rises like incense before the throne, resting on cedarwood and amber. Light it and remember: you are surrounded. Eternal Rest — All Souls Day. The Church's oldest prayer for her beloved dead. Cold bergamot air warms into white birch and toasted marshmallow, settling into embers, smoke, and cedarwood. The smoke rises like our prayers; the sweetness lingers like the ones we pray for. Light them in order — vigil, feast, remembrance — or keep all three burning through the month of the Holy Souls.

A meaningful gift for Catholic homes reclaiming the true season, for godparents and confirmation sponsors, or for anyone holding a loved one in prayer this November. • Set of three hand-poured 100% soy candles in white tin vessels • 2oz each · approx. 10-hour burn time per candle · cotton wicks
