Altar Candles

Cathedral Brand candles are longer burning, guaranteed and stamped 51% beeswax. Made in the USA.
These candles feature a dimensional design and are expertly crafted for table altars.
Insistence on the finest Beeswax is long-standing because the wax is symbolic of the purity of Christ Himself.

Here is a guide to assist you in determining the proper size Cathedral Brand candle needed.
Burn rates will vary from candle to candle and are greatly affected by atmospheric conditions in the church.
All data assumed the use of a candle follower (burner) when burning, and is expressed as an average rate the candle uses the wax fuel.
You would also want to consider the stub of the candle too, since you wouldn’t be able to burn the entire length of the candle due to the socket.
