Hi all,

Can you get any candles blessed by a priest for private devotional use? Or do they have to be unscented beeswax?

Peace!

You can get any candle blessed for private devotions. The beeswax requirement is for liturgical use.

I thought beeswax had a smell. No? Theres a smell, a good smell, that my church has and I’ve been trying to identify it for years. I thought it was the candles.
