A lovely, delicate tulle decorated candle perfectly suitable for celebrating a precious baptism, reminding us with it's name the reason for baptism. To create the larger candle's design, a traditional skirt is crafted out of netting and English tulle. Double-faced, soft ivory ribbon creates the rose center and ribbon tails. The smaller candles are decorated with organza and satin bows with a pearl center. This handmade design can be purchased as a set (One 24” Lambada and Two 17” Candles) or individually in both sizes. The 24" candle has a 1" diameter. The 17" candles have a ¾” diameter. Candles burn at the rate of approximately 1” per hour and are smoke and drip resistant. These hand-dipped taper candles are created from a blend of superior quality paraffin wax with a pure cotton wick for a slow and calm burn. In a Greek Baptism, the godparent (“nonos” or “nona”) holds the large candle. The 17” candles are small enough to be easily held by children or any other participant going around the baptism font. The larger candle is lit for the three consecutive Sundays following the Baptism when the newly baptized receives Holy Communion. These candles coordinate with our Agapi Collection which includes baptism ladopana, coordinating tote, favors, and martyrika. Shop our full Agapi Baptism Collection.
