Silicone mould for a 19 cm devotional Jesus candle, ~196 g of wax per pour (≈30 h burn time with pure beeswax). Cut down one side — open the seam, lift the figure cleanly, close with elastic bands. Compatible with beeswax, soy, paraffin, resin and gypsum. Pour at 50–60 °C. For parish fêtes, First Communions, Holy Week and home altars.
A 19 cm devotional Jesus candle — a substantial piece, designed for religious gifts and home altars rather than small Nativity sets. The silicone mould reproduces the full figure with its drapery folds and facial detail, and ships pre-cut down one side so you can demould without forcing the wax. Each pour yields a candle of around 196 g, which burns for over 30 hours when cast in pure beeswax.
Sizeable human figures share a classic weak point: when you demould, the hands, fingers and fine drapery folds catch in the negative and snap as you pull. This mould is factory-cut down one side — open the lateral seam like peeling a satsuma, lift the figure cleanly out, then close it back up with elastic bands for the next pour. No tugging, no lost detail, dozens of candles at the same level of finish.
The face, the hands and the folds of the robe are the three places where you really see the quality of a religious figure mould. The silicone takes a millimetre-perfect impression of the negative and holds detail across dozens of pours. Pour wax between 50 and 60 °C — hotter and it flows freely but introduces bubbles; cooler and the fine features won't fill out. Tap the base of the mould lightly and repeatedly straight after pouring to release the microbubbles that tend to settle in the facial area.
Beeswax has been the traditional liturgical wax since the Middle Ages — its warm aroma, golden tone and clean burn (no black smoke, no toxic residue) is what sets a hand-poured devotional candle apart from a mass-produced paraffin candle. A 196 g candle of pure beeswax burns for around 30 hours with a steady flame. Save your lightest, cleanest cappings wax for solemn finishes; older brood-frame wax gives a darker, more characterful tone suited to family altar pieces.
Aimed at beekeepers and chandlers producing for parish fêtes, First Communions, Confirmations, Holy Week and Easter. It also works as a home altar candle: many customers light theirs on Sundays or family anniversaries. If you're selling at a fair, present the candle in plain linen with a label clearly stating "100 % beeswax" — that distinction from paraffin is what justifies the price. Pairs well with the Holy Family, Praying Angel and Large Heart moulds for a coherent devotional collection.
