Our lady of charity (yellow) 1 color 7 day candle

The Our Lady of Charity (Yellow) 7-Day Candle honors Caridad del Cobre, the patron saint of Cuba within Catholic practice and a figure widely venerated across the Cuban diaspora. In Santería, this same image is syncretized with the Orisha Ochún, and the candle is respectfully offered here as a devotional item for both Catholic and Afro-Caribbean spiritual practices that honor her.

Poured in a warm yellow hue, this candle customarily represents joy, hope, and the golden light linked to Our Lady of Charity's blessing. Many devotees use this candle as a focus for novenas, daily prayer, or quiet petitions for guidance, comfort, and protection during a difficult season.

Set inside a standard glass jar with a single cotton wick, the candle is designed to burn steadily across a full week, giving your devotion room to unfold at its own pace. In this practice, the seven-day format mirrors a full cycle of prayer, allowing a petition or novena to be carried from beginning to end without needing to relight a fresh candle each day.

This candle is crafted with care to honor the devotion many hold for Our Lady of Charity, and is intended solely as a respectful devotional tool rather than a religious sacrament in itself. It works well alongside a rosary, prayer card, or personal petition written in your own words.

Whether placed on a home altar, a prayer shelf, or beside an image of Our Lady of Charity herself, this candle is offered purely as a tool for reflection and devotion. It carries no guarantee of any particular outcome; its purpose is to support the practitioner's own faith, patience, and intention as they move through their prayer practice.
