This is the same 7 day sanctuary candle that many churches burn to honor the Blessed Sacrament's presence in their church. You can buy them by the piece if you don't need a full case of 12. All of our 7 day votive candles come from domestic church candle manufacturers who, with their chemists, have perfected the art of church candle burning over centuries of candle making.

Church candles are more complicated than you might think! Candle wick size, paraffin or beeswax melting points and shape all affect the performance of your church candles. The wax is not just there to 'stop' the wick from burning, but provides the fuel to make the candle burn for the desired amount of time and also affects how cleanly the candle burns.
