The SAINT Candles Story

Ira DeWitt, a music executive with a PhD in education, has always chosen to do things her own way. When a friend was recently diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she wanted to give her something more purposeful than flowers or a card-- something that evoked a sense of comfort and spirituality for both the friend and her caregivers. Ira decided to create something herself - and this is how SAINT Candles, Modern Prayer Candles for a Cause, was born.

The SAINT Candles line features twelve different candles that are each named after a patron saint associated with a specific aspect of human life. Whether someone is battling a health issue, embarking on a trip, or trying to find love, there is a patron saint, and a SAINT Candle, to help them on their journey. The beautiful packaging, individualized scents, and unique features make this an unforgettable gift that touches peoples’ hearts.

Each SAINT Candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax which is blessed by both a priest and a rabbi, and an Italian prayer coin embedded into the candle honoring the patron saint which reveals itself once the candle has burned down.

Directions For Use

Each candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax, and a prayer coin embedded into the candle. Before the first lighting, the candle owner should read out loud the prayer to the patron saint, then light the candle. Once the wax has burned all the way down after many uses, remove the coin at the bottom and keep it in a wallet, purse, or car - or bury it in the yard as a way of blessing the entire household.
