51% Beeswax Altar Candles | 1-1/2" Diameter for Church

Illuminate your liturgies with the finest wax available. Made with 51% pure beeswax and available in a wide variety of sizes, these altar candles from Cathedral Candle are made with quality in mind!

Each candle is officially stamped to guarantee a minimum of 51% pure beeswax, ensuring a superior, soot-free burn. The high beeswax content naturally extends the burn time, meaning fewer replacements and less maintenance for your parish staff. 

Why beeswax for altar candles? For centuries, the Church has insisted on using the finest beeswax for the sanctuary. This is not just a matter of quality, but of theology: the natural, unblemished wax symbolizes the pure flesh of Christ Himself.

We are proud to carry these premium beeswax altar candles in a wide range of sizes! Ranging from a compact 5 ½ inches tall up to a majestic 34 inches, choose the exact height your sanctuary requires. All candles feature a standard 1-1/2 inch diameter. 

Rest assured that each one is formed with precision to provide excellent stability and a proportionate, graceful appearance on the altar. Pair your altar candles with candle followers to extend their lifespan and enhance their appearance even further. 

When you choose Cathedral Candle Brand, you are investing in a longer-lasting, cleaner-burning flame that honors the dignity of the Mass. Browse our size options below to find the perfect fit for your sanctuary.
