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 provides a visible sign of prayer and recalls Christ, the light of the world.

Its white and blue colours and depiction of the Apparition associate this gesture with devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes.

A depiction of the Apparitions of Lourdes

In 1858, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette Soubirous at the Grotto of Massabielle. These Apparitions gave rise to devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes and helped make Lourdes one of the major places of Marian pilgrimage.

This candle can naturally be placed in a prayer corner beside a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes to accompany Marian prayer.
