5 out of 5 starsLightning speed shipping! I feel like a sign of a great seller is how swiftly they get out their product and these guys did it with much haste. Beautiful quality candles. Wicks already come trimmed which is thoughtful. It was hard to pick which candle seller to choose because there are so many but I am very happy I picked these guys. Not only does it support a monastery but it's great quality.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second purchase of these. They burn nicely and have a slightly sweet smell ( not scented just nice) and I love them and that it supports the monastery. Shipping was quick and packaged securely. I will continue buying from them.

5 out of 5 starsI love these! They burn clean, they don't drip, and they smell wonderful. This was my second order. I went ahead and placed another order to give a set to my church.

5 out of 5 starsWonderful incense. It is much smokier than the sticks I normally use, so I will be using it outside or in larger spaces than my tiny meditation room.

About StJohnsMonastery
What is so good or so joyous as for brethren to dwell together in unity. (Psalm 133:1)
Our Monastic Community struggles to preserve the authentic tradition of Athonite monasticism - a life of repentance, and obedience. Our obediences (daily work) are accompanied by continual prayer, and the motivation to please God through our small labors. We hope you enjoy our products and experience the blessedness of the Monastic way of life.
