Nino de Atocha Glass-Encased Vigil Candle Questions and Answers

[Rev Ernest]

"El Nino de Atocha (The Little Boy of Atocha) is a particular vision of Jesus Christ as a young boy wearing a pilgrim's cloak and hat of 16th century style. He carries a basket of food, a staff, a water-gourd, and a sheaf of wheat. He is usually shown sitting in a chair, often with matched vases of flowers on either side of him. His popularity is greatest in Spain and the Central and South American countries once conquered and colonized by Spain. Some people in Santeria consider him to be a symbol of the Orisha Ellegua, one of the Seven African Powers."

"The story of El Nino de Atocha is this:
When the Moors conquered the town of Atocha, Spain, in the 1400s they imprisoned the Christians and provided them with no food. The people would have starved to death but for a little boy dressed as a pilgrim who appeared at the jail every day with a basket of food, some grain for bread, and a gourd full of water. When the Moors were expelled, the Christians were released, and it was believed that the miraculous little boy was none other than the infant Jesus."

Our prepared 8" glass-encased vigil lights come with a dressing of oils and herbs and will burn for 5 - 7 days, depending on ambient temperature and other factors.

If you wish to set a traditional Novena of nine days, you will either have to start and stop the candle (which can result in a smoky glass), or purchase two candles to run continually over the 9-day period.

Always practice fire safety when setting vigil lights. If you must keep them lit when you are away or asleep, be sure that no pets or children can get into the room with them, that they are not near curtains or flammable cloth or paper, and that you have a smoke alarm in your house. Placing lit vigils in the bathtub is quite common, but you must not have a shower curtain if you use this method. Setting them into a fireplace is ideal, as there is a ready-made chimney for them.
