How to Order Bulk Candles

Minimum Bulk Order: 5 pounds (mix and match is acceptable).

  • Hand-Dipped 100% Pure Beeswax Candles Made to Order.
  • Please allow 2 weeks for production and shipping.

Beeswax burns brighter, cleaner, and longer than any other candle. It is also drip-less and produces no smoke. Like everything we offer to God, our candles are made with nothing artificial -- they are 100% natural beeswax. All candles are handmade by the Monks of the Monastery of St. John.

Standing orders and rush orders are available (by phone only: 530-474-5964). Custom sizes are also available (by phone only), name your size up to 18" tall & 1" wide. Please EMAIL US if you have questions or would like to place an order for bulk candles by phone.

Note: Hand-dipped candles taper slightly from the base to the wick, and may vary a little in size. Dimensions given are the width of the candle at the base.
