During colonial times, bayberries were harvested and boiled to create a precious wax for candles. The candles were considered a luxury saved for special occasions like Christmas and New Year's Eve. The tradition is to burn the candle down completely to the socket on either Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. Successfully burning the candle down is believed to bring good luck, financial prosperity, and good fortune for the year ahead.
This listing is for 2 hand-dipped chime candles attached at the wick. Burn time is approximately 3 hours. Each is approximately 4" tall x 1/2" diameter. Product appearance may vary; beeswax candles take on a lovely natural patina over time.
Warning: Never leave candles unattended. Always practice proper precautions when burning candles. I suggest having a snuffer at hand when using these.
