Candle Crafts and Food Ideas

Candles are very important for many reasons in the Catholic church. We have Baptism candles, Paschal candles, Easter candles, and Advent candles. We celebrate Candlemas (coming up February 2) and the feast of St. Blaise is coming up on February 3. On St. Blaise’s feast day, we have our throats blessed with candlesticks.
