Agapi Baptism Candles | 17" & 24"

A lovely, delicate tulle decorated candle perfectly suitable for celebrating a precious baptism, reminding us with it's name the reason for baptism. To create the larger candle's design, a traditional skirt is crafted out of netting and English tulle. Double-faced, soft ivory ribbon creates the rose center and ribbon tails. The smaller candles are decorated with organza and satin bows with a pearl center. This handmade 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" 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
