This paschal candle kit came from Illuminated Ink. What a find at a time that we could not go to church for the Easter vigil on Holy Saturday! It gave me a sense of deep joy after I finished it. It may become an annual tradition.
I got a kick out of the instructions for the candle, written by a real mom: tie your hair back, and remember that wax and carpet do not mix! I used the hair dryer to warm the wax as recommended. I could have used it a bit longer since I had a hard time rolling the wax. However, I felt like caution was in order lest I melt it too much. The wick is very thick, so the candle has burned very well. With 100 percent beeswax, it smells wonderful.
I also received my lamb mold from Amazon, but too late for an Easter butter lamb. That shall be my project for next year.
I love these little, tangible links to the faith.
