**Seconds** These candles have minor cosmetic blemishes: for example, markings on the glass or a slightly oblong shape. They come in a kraft CORDA box, but will not have the white outer sleeve with the candle name, scent notes, and story behind the inspiration. These scholastic scents of books, ink, and straw are inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas. Nuanced with notes of dark musk, teakwood, vetiver, cade, and cedarwood. Behind the InspirationThrough his prodigious theological works and beautiful Eucharistic hymns, Thomas teaches clearly the truth of God. But after being given a vision of Christ near the end of his life, this Doctor of the Church found he could write no more, saying that all of his works seemed like straw compared to the glory he had seen.St. Thomas’s feast day is January 28. Jar candle: 6 oz with a 45 hour burn time
