Our 7-day novena candles pull out of their glass sleeve to allow you to carve and dress the candle to yuour specifications. These candles are made by Crusader Candle Company in Brooklyn, NY and are designed to burn continuously for the duration of your spellwork. Crusader's motto is "they burn better" and After burning these candles for 30 years, I have to agree. As simple as they are, they do burn consistently well and evenly. Though we must always be smart about saftey when it comed to burning candles, these pull-outs from Crusader have never given me any problems or worries. Their price includes extra for shipping and handling, as they are indeed fragile. We offer all the colors available.
