Looking for a keepsake baptism gift that can be displayed as a symbolic work of art?

These original baptism candles feature NO clipart and NO stickers that yellow and peel over time;

They are all hand painted with acrylic paint, and intended to be displayed as a work of art and continual reminder of a child’s (and parents’) baptismal calls.

I have only 5 available right now, but if interest is shown, I will paint more. (The homeschooling never seems to end, so neither will the candle painting, I’m sure!)

Because religious formation for our littlest ones is fruitless unless taught with love. Love points toward beauty. And beauty points toward truth.

I may not have paid attention to all the details of our faith (that would come around naturally in my teens).

But one thing I did know through that one little sister, is that with Christ, I was safe.

With Christ, I was secure.

And even when I encountered others who attempted to make my faith seem scary and uninviting, I knew that at it’s core, Our Lord’s beautiful universal Church was rooted in love.

It was home, and I could always rest there.

To whom shall we go? (John 6:68)
