Welcome to Sophie's Recycled Candles

Now more than ever, we are called to be better stewards of our planet and resources. Sophie’s Recycled Candles is one more step toward environmental responsibility.

Every Sophie’s Candle is made entirely from the wax of previously burned candles — candle stubs that would otherwise be thrown in a landfill.

We promise that each candle will be AT LEAST 85% beeswax.

And, the recycled wax that makes up Sophie’s Candles is melted down from candles that have been used liturgically, specifically in Orthodox Christian worship. Meaning that they have been prayed over, blessed, and used in various sacraments of the Church, such as baptisms, the Holy Eucharist, weddings, and Holy Unction.

In Greek, the word sophia means wisdom. We hope that you’ll find Sophie’s Recycled Candles to be a wise choice.
