Very lovely image. I was recently in St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC and stood for the longest time looking at the candles that had been lighted before the many altars. The cathedral was noisy and crowded but the candles were so peaceful.

This evokes gorgeous, soaring voices in mysterious Gothic cathedrals, moonlight streaming through the stained glass. I wish you Peace, Joy, and Love always.

Beautiful beeswax candles. Seeing them in Jordan must have been extra special. Sending warm hugs for you this Christmas season. May it be lite by many warm lights.
