Beehive Candle

“Candles for the monastic church were probably made from pure beeswax in the Middle Ages, and honey was extensively used to sweeten the diet before the import of sugar began in the fifteenth century. Thus bees and beehives were an important part of a monastic economy.”

–The Age of the Cloister, by Christopher Brooke



Inspired by a centuries-old tradition, the sisters and brothers of the Community of Jesus have crafted these uniquely beautiful, all natural candles by hand. Warm your kitchen table, or any spot in your home, with a beeswax candle in the detailed shape of a beehive.
