Authentic Stavros Baptism Candles | 17" & 24" Thick Order Today [SwOR95KH]

Naturally charming, our Stavros Baptism Candles with a hand-cut keepsake cross make a wonderful addition to your son’s Christening.

• Carefully coordinated blue and natural colored twine, crinoline, and ivory  grosgrain ribbon details decorate the candles.
• The focal point of this design is the wooden cross ornament. Made from recycled tree branch slices and hand-cut solid wood pieces, it’s a wonderful keepsake years after the ceremony. Due to their uniqueness, ornaments vary in shape, size, and color.
• Wooden Cross Ornaments measure approximately 1 ½" to 2" in diameter.
• This design can be purchased as a set (One 24” Lambada and Two 17” Candles) or individually in both sizes.
• The 24” candle has a 1 ½” diameter. The 17” candles have a ¾” diameter.
• Candles burn at the rate of approximately 1” per hour and are smoke and drip-resistant.
• These hand-dipped taper candles are created from a blend of superior-quality paraffin wax with a pure cotton wick for a slow and calm burn.
• In a Greek Baptism, the godparent (“nonos” or “nona”) holds the large candle. The 17” candles are small enough to be easily held by children or any other participant going around the font.
• The larger candle is lit for the three consecutive Sundays following the Baptism,  when the newly baptized receives Holy Communion.
• These candles coordinate with our Stavros Collection which includes baptism ladopana, coordinating tote, favors, and martyrika. Shop our full Stavros Baptism Collection.
