A candle to accompany prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

This candle can be lit during personal or family prayer, to accompany a particular intention or while praying the Rosary. In Christian tradition, candlelight is a visible sign of prayer and recalls Christ, the light of the world.

Its illustration and colours particularly associate this gesture with devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes.

A reminder of the Apparitions of Lourdes

In 1858, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous at the Grotto of Massabielle. Bernadette described a Lady dressed in white with a blue belt. The contrast between ivory and blue on this candle therefore recalls the traditional depiction of Our Lady of Lourdes.

To create a prayer space dedicated to this Marian devotion, the candle can be placed beside a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes.
