Orthodox Beeswax Candles FAQ
Frequently asked questions about our Orthodox beeswax candles and their use in sacred rituals.
How are beeswax candles used in Orthodox liturgy?
In Orthodox liturgy, beeswax candles are used extensively: on the Holy Table (altar), during processions, for censing, as vigil lights before icons, and for personal prayer intentions. They symbolize the light of Christ and the spiritual illumination of the faithful.
What size candles are best for Orthodox church use?
For Orthodox church use, taller taper candles (14-18 inches) are commonly used on the Holy Table, while vigil candles in glass holders work well for prayer intentions before icons. Larger pillar candles are often used for special services and processions.
Can these candles be blessed by an Orthodox priest?
Yes, our beeswax candles are ideal for Orthodox blessing ceremonies. Orthodox priests typically bless candles during special services, especially before major feasts. The blessing involves prayers, incense, and the sign of the cross over the candles.
How do I properly care for beeswax candles in an Orthodox church?
To care for beeswax candles in an Orthodox church, trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each use, keep them away from drafts near icons and the Holy Table, extinguish with a candle snuffer rather than blowing them out, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Are there special candles for Orthodox Pascha (Easter)?
Yes, Orthodox Pascha (Easter) has special candle traditions, including the large Paschal candle (Paschalion) that is blessed during the Paschal Vigil and lit throughout the 50-day Paschal season. We offer specially designed Paschal candles with traditional Orthodox symbols.
