Concordia Supply 12" x 1.5" Advent taper candles, three purple and one rose, are stearin-wax candles made for reliable, slow burning in Advent wreaths at home or in church.

These Advent taper candles pair traditional liturgical colors with steady performance. Made from high-quality stearin (palm-based) wax, the set contains three purple candles and one rose candle sized at 12 inches by 1.5 inches each. The tapers are intended to fit standard Advent wreath holders and give consistent flames suitable for weekly lighting throughout the Advent season.

How do these candles support a dependable Advent ritual?

Concordia Supply stearin tapers are engineered for even, slow burns so each candle can last through the intended lighting intervals. The consistent melt reduces dripping and soot, helping maintain wreaths and candleholders during services or family devotions.

• Slow, steady burn for weekly Advent use
• Reduced dripping preserves wreaths and holders
• Uniform color and finish for a cohesive display

Are these candles compatible with common wreath holders and altars?

The 12" length and 1.5" diameter are standard for many Advent wreaths and taper holders, making these candles a convenient fit for churches, home altars, and seasonal displays. Their classic proportions balance visibility and burn time.

• Fits most standard Advent wreath candle sockets
• Appropriate scale for tabletop and sanctuary wreaths
• Works well with metal, glass, or ceramic holders

What are the material and environmental considerations?

These tapers are produced from palm-based stearin wax, offering a palm-derived alternative to traditional beeswax or paraffin. Stearin provides a clean and steady flame; buyers should follow local guidance for palm-sourced products if they have specific sustainability concerns.

• Palm-derived stearin wax for consistent melting
• Cleaner-burning than some paraffin blends
• Cost-effective option compared with beeswax

How do the colors and design enhance Advent symbolism?

The three purple candles and single rose candle reflect the customary color sequence used in many Advent traditions: purple for penitence and preparation, and rose for a mid-season moment of rejoicing. The simple, unadorned tapers keep focus on the ritual rather than decorative detail.

• Three purple candles to mark weeks of preparation
• One rose candle for the third-week lighting tradition
• Classic tapered silhouette for symbolic clarity
