Catholic Liturgical Guide for Beeswax Candles
A practical guide to selecting and using pure beeswax candles in Catholic parishes, schools, and home devotion.
Candles at Holy Mass & the Altar
Altar candles accompany every Mass: six or two candles flank the crucifix according to solemnity, plus a sanctuary lamp near the tabernacle. Choose rigid, self-supporting altar candles sized to your candlesticks.
Vigil Lights & Devotional Candles
Vigil lights burn before statues, relics, and in side chapels. Long-burning beeswax vigil candles and votives in glass keep intercession areas safe, clean, and continuously tended.
Advent, Christmas & the Easter Vigil
Advent wreath sets, the white Christ candle, and hand-held candlelight tapers for the Easter Vigil are seasonal essentials — order 6–8 weeks ahead with custom colors or imprints.
Sacraments & Parish Events
Baptismal, confirmation, and wedding candles, plus hand-held tapers for candlelight Masses, processions, and All Souls commemorations, are available with crosses, dates, and parish names.
Catholic Altar Candles FAQ
Frequently asked questions about wholesale catholic altar candles and ordering from Golden Leaf.
Yes. Every altar, sanctuary, and votive candle is made from 100% pure beeswax with cotton wicks, refined by 5-micron physical filtration, and contains no paraffin, soy, dyes, or synthetic additives.
Altar candles in 7/8"–2" diameters, 6" vigil lights and votives, and thin hand-held tapers (about 7/8" x 10–12") for the Easter Vigil and candlelight services. We match sizes to your candlesticks and holder cups.
Pure beeswax with cotton wicks is the traditional material required for altar candles in Catholic norms; our candles contain no paraffin or additives and carry only a natural honey aroma.
Yes — crosses, IHS and Chi-Rho emblems, parish names, dates, and sacramental motifs can be engraved or printed, with gift packaging for baptism, confirmation, and wedding programs.
Trim wicks to 6 mm, use the correct diameter for the candlestick, and avoid drafts. Filtered beeswax and centered wicks ensure near-complete, smokeless combustion.
