Come Follow Me Scented Candle – Sea Air, Olive & Citrus | 5.5 oz | Hand-Poured at Conception Abbey
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19) Those words were spoken on a shoreline — salt in the air, nets still wet, the whole world about to change. The Come Follow Me Scented Candle carries you back to that moment. Crisp, salty sea air opens the fragrance with a breath of coastal clarity, while the quiet warmth of an olive grove settles beneath it — ancient, grounding, and deeply biblical. A bright lift of citrus ties it together, clean and alive. It's the scent of a calling answered — of leaving everything and following without hesitation. Hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri, this candle is a fragrant reminder that every day holds an invitation to follow.
Salty sea air, warm olive, and bright citrus — a fragrance rooted in the landscapes of Scripture, evoking the shores where Jesus called His first disciples.
Coconut & soy wax burns cleaner and longer than paraffin — no harsh chemicals, just a steady flame and a beautiful, even scent throw.
Hand-poured by Benedictine monks in Conception, MO — a living tradition of prayerful craft rooted in the spirit of ora et labora.
A meaningful gift for RCIA, Confirmation, ordination, priestly anniversaries, or anyone answering a call — to ministry, mission, or simply deeper faith.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Come Follow Me smell like?
Come Follow Me opens with crisp, salty sea air — fresh and coastal — then settles into the warm, earthy depth of an olive grove, with a bright citrus lift that keeps the fragrance clean and alive. It's similar to Olive Leaf & Citron: natural, grounding, and quietly evocative of the biblical landscapes of the Holy Land.
Where does the name come from?
"Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19) — the words Jesus spoke to Simon Peter and Andrew on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. It is one of the most powerful calls in all of Scripture, and the fragrance was designed to evoke that shoreline moment: salt air, olive trees, and the beginning of everything.
Is this a good gift for someone entering religious life or ministry?
Yes — Come Follow Me is one of our most meaningful gifts for anyone answering a vocation. It's a natural fit for ordination, diaconate ordination, religious profession, seminary graduation, or RCIA completion. The name and fragrance together carry a message that words alone can't always express.
Who makes this candle?
The Come Follow Me candle is hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. Their candle-making is a form of ora et labora — prayerful, purposeful work that gives each candle a quiet spiritual dimension.
How do I get the best burn from this candle?
Trim the wick to 1/8"–1/4" before every lighting. On the first burn, let the candle burn for 3–4 hours so the wax pool reaches the edges — this prevents tunneling and ensures a full, even burn throughout the candle's life. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
