White candle with flower pattern 35 cm

Candles made of pure beeswax are handcrafted in the St. Nicolas cell that belongs to the Holy Monastery of Filotheou.

Like any Christian ceremony, lighting a candle has a deep symbolic meaning. The candles lit symbolize the light of God.

A candle is a sacrifice that we make to God, one of the few things that we can offer him as a gift. In fact, lighting candles is no less, if not more important, an appeal to God than a prayer.
