The tradition of the Paschal Easter Candle craftsmanship with the Martins family and The Candle Merchant team in Maitland! 🕯 For decades, we've perfected the art of Paschal Decorations for candles, including the timeless symbols of the Cross, Alpha, Omega, and the Current Year. The Paschal candle holds deep significance in liturgies across various Christian denominations. Blessed and lit anew at Easter, it illuminates ceremonies throughout the year, symbolizing the eternal presence of God. The Alpha and Omega letters remind us that God is the beginning and the end, while the current year symbolizes His presence among us. To our Churches: please secure your made-to-order, limited selection of our hand-decorated Paschal Church Candles for the year 2024. Don't delay – place your orders today!

CANDLE CARE TIP: How to trim your pillar candles. Have you ever wondered how you can remove the “wax walls” from around the top of your pillar candle, so you can see the flame again while it continues to burn? Here are easy-to-follow steps on how to trim your candles so that the wax at wick-level is even again. Step 1: Light your candle and let It burn for at least 2 hours to soften the wax along the edges. Step 2: Once the edges have softened and you have extinguished the flame, allow the liquid wax to harden. Step 3: Use a knife to trim the top off. Step 4: Have a tray or newspaper on table surface ready to catch the excess wax. *VERY NB: Avoid breaking the burnt wick Step 5: Enjoy watching the flame burn in all its glory again Enjoy FREE DELIVERY on online orders of R1000.00 or more - anywhere within South Africa.

Hard work and perseverance have been instilled in us with strong role models throughout the generations.
