"One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it's gone. But to surrender what you are, and live without belief - that's more terrible than dying - more terrible than dying young."

It is here! Our much anticipated No. 11 Magdalene candle is in stock now and will ship by June 2.

St. Mary Magdalene ardently loved Jesus, generously washing his feet with her hair and seeking him out at the dawn of the Resurrection. The No. 11 Magdalene candle captures scents that the great saint certainly knew: sweet blood orange and the warm spice of cardamom. This bright, rich blend evokes Mary's deep joy in her life transformed by the Christ.
