Dadant Aionios Journey Paschal Candle 2-1/2 x 61 inches
Aionios Periodeia (Journey)

In the Greek language, periodeia is the word which means tour and Dadant artisans have brought into being a paschal candle to symbolize the full scope of this translation. The Periodeia paschal candle hails the eye with a stately boldness. We are invited to contemplate a tour of the soul, culminating in the glory of the Cross.

The journey lies rich before us, represented by three striking burgundy-colored blocks that depict the mortal trials in the ultimate journey of Christ. Each block is carved in bas-relief and outfitted with gold overlay. The ample cross, devised from the same symbolic wine color, rises dramatically from the candle as the focus of our tour, the reason for our journey, the emblem of our faith, in which all our trials are triumphant.

Ageless. Eternal. Timeless. Unending.
Harking back to an era when tradition and symbolism were a cornerstone of fine craftsmanship, Fos Aionios Paschal candles evoke a sense of quietly felt inspiration in both communicant and celebrant. Expanding the borders of old technology and with unfailing attention to detail, the designer of Fos Aionios paschal candles has succeeded in merging traditional with modern, and has brought into being this treasury of candles to honor the Risen Christ.

Of 51% beeswax, which insures excellent burning qualities, each pattern is fashioned entirely by hand from first step to last. Never mass-produced, Fos Aionios paschal candles call the Paschal Celebration back to a simpler time, in memory of the Cross which never changes, and the risen Christ, who is the Light Eternal.
