All of our 14 day votive candles come from domestic church candle manufacturers who, with their chemists, have perfected the art of church candle burning over centuries of quality candle making.á Don't buy inferior imported candles or refills made with lower melting point paraffin because that will result in scorched liquid wax, candle smoke, and soot on your church and sanctuary walls.

Church candles are more complicated than you might think!á There is a combination of candle wick size, paraffin or beeswax melting points, and shape that affects the performance of your church candles.á The candle wax is not just there to 'stop' the wick from burning, but rather provides the fuel to make the candle burn for a desired time and with clean burning qualities.á Different candle ends, socket size, church candle burners, air movement in a church sanctuary û these are several factors that can make or break your candle burning experience!á St. Patrick's Guild Church Supplies department has sales associates with cumulatively hundreds of years experience in outfitting churches with the right church candles and providing candle burning expertise to many sacristans and clergy members.

The vinyl plastic that is used in ourá14 day votive candles has been tested, re-tested, and approved for use in votive candle stands and church sanctuary light globes. If there is a situation where the burning votive candle wick inadvertently touches the vinyl that encloses the candle, the plastic is manufactured to close down over the flame to safely extinguish it.

All of ourá14áday church votive lights are made of unbreakable vinyl and are recyclable with any recycler who will take number 3 plastic recyclable candle containers.
