Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Alpine Blossom scent smell like?

Alpine Blossom is a fresh, nature-inspired fragrance that blends warm alpine air with the subtle sweetness of blooming evergreens. It's clean and grounding — not floral or overpowering — making it ideal for prayer spaces, living rooms, or anywhere you want a calm, uplifting atmosphere.

Why is coconut and soy wax better than paraffin?

Coconut and soy wax are plant-derived and burn cleaner than paraffin, producing less soot and releasing fragrance more evenly. They also tend to have a longer burn time, giving you more value per candle.

Who makes this candle?

This candle is hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. Their candle-making is part of a long tradition of ora et labora — prayer and work — making each candle a small act of devotion.

Is this a good Catholic gift?

Absolutely. The Labor of Love candle is a thoughtful gift for baptisms, First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA, Easter, Christmas, sympathy, or any occasion where you want to give something meaningful and faith-inspired. It pairs beautifully with a prayer card or rosary.

How do I get the best burn from this candle?

Always trim the wick to 1/8"–1/4" before lighting. On the very first burn, let the candle burn for 3–4 hours so the wax melts evenly to 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.
