These serene scents of fir needles and Castilian roses are inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe. Nuanced with notes of cedar, evergreen boughs, and musk.Behind the InspirationMary appeared to St. Juan Diego as a pregnant woman of native descent, bringing a message of motherly comfort and hope. As proof of her appearance, Castilian roses were inexplicably found blooming in the dead of winter. The tilma that held the roses miraculously bears her image even to this day.The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12. Jar candle: 6 oz with a 45 hour burn time
