It’s time for a good chat with friends, a lovely afternoon with the kids or grandkids, or simply taking some time for yourself—and making your own wonderfully fragrant beeswax candle while you’re at it. When the wick is dipped into the wax, it often brings back fond memories of making candles as a child. And when you close your eyes, the scent of beeswax, burning candles, and Advent fills the air.

Perhaps this will lead to creating personal gifts or candles for your own Advent wreath? For those in a hurry, there’s a shortcut via the sales booth, which offers a wide selection of handmade candles.

Never made candles before? No problem! Our volunteers are happy to help and are on hand with tips and tricks. By the way—for over 50 years, the net proceeds have been benefiting people with disabilities!
