Labora Scented Candle – Fir, Cedarwood & Spruce | 5.5 oz | Hand-Poured at Conception Abbey
The ancient Benedictine motto Ora et Labora — pray and work — calls us to find the sacred in the everyday. The Labora Scented Candle was born from that call. Its fragrance is the forest at its most honest: the sharp clarity of fir, the warm depth of cedarwood, and the cool bite of spruce. Together they create a scent that doesn't distract — it anchors. Whether you're settling into focused work, entering a time of quiet prayer, or simply need a moment to breathe, Labora fills the room with the kind of stillness that only nature can offer. Hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri, every candle is a small act of purposeful craft.
Crisp fir, warm cedarwood, and cool spruce — a grounding woodland scent that sharpens focus and quiets the mind.
Coconut & soy wax burns cleaner and longer than paraffin — no harsh chemicals, just a steady, even flame.
Crafted by Benedictine monks in Conception, MO — a living expression of ora et labora, prayer and purposeful work.
Ideal for Confirmation, graduation, Father's Day, RCIA, or any occasion calling for a meaningful, faith-rooted gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Labora smell like?
Labora is a crisp, woodsy fragrance built around fir, cedarwood, and spruce. Think of a quiet walk through an evergreen forest — clean, grounding, and naturally calming. It's not sweet or floral; it's the scent of focused stillness.
What does Labora mean?
Labora is Latin for "work" and is the second half of the Benedictine motto Ora et Labora — "Pray and Work." The name reflects the monks' belief that diligent, purposeful work is itself a form of prayer and worship.
Why coconut and soy wax?
Coconut and soy wax are plant-based alternatives to paraffin that burn cleaner, produce less soot, and carry fragrance more evenly. They also tend to have a longer burn life, so you get more hours of enjoyment from each candle.
Who makes this candle?
The Labora candle is hand-poured by the Benedictine monks of Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. Their candle-making is a direct expression of monastic life — each pour a quiet act of prayer and craft.
Is this a good gift for a Catholic man?
Yes — Labora's woodsy, grounding scent makes it one of our most popular choices for men. It's a natural fit for Father's Day, Confirmation, graduation, or any occasion where you want a gift that's both practical and spiritually meaningful.
