Saint Agatha Glass-Encased Candle Questions and Answers

[Rev Ernest]

"Saint Agatha of Sicily is the patron saint of women with breast cancer and those who must undergo a mastectomy for any reason. AShe also helps those who have been raped or suffered sexual assault and been forced into sexual slavery. She is the patron saint of the cities of Catania and Palermo, Sicily, and it is said that Catania's lucky escape from fire during a volcanic eruption of flame and lava from Mount Etna was was due to her protection. For this reason she is also petitioned to protect homes from house fires, wild fires, lightning, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Because of these works, she became the patron saint of bellmakers, because bells used to be used as fire alarms. Her feast day is February 5th."

"Saint Agatha's piteous martyrdom was so well-known during the Medieval and Renaissance eras that many images were painted of her. During that time, the hagiography of Agatha usually focussed on her holding a metal plate or round tray upon which her severed breasts were openly displayed, as in the work shown here of Cariani (Giovanni Busi), painted in 1516-1517. In Cariani's image, Saint Agatha bears a palm leaf, signifying Catholic martyrdom, and shows the viewer the breasts that were torn off of her body."

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.
