HALF DOZEN RED EASTER EGG CANDLES [+ GLASS EGG CUP]

[Half-dozen]

As you would know by now, we @ THEMATIKOS are very sentimental and love our traditions.

These RED EASTER EGG CANDLES have been hand made by our family [and by family, we mean Nicole], packaged in a half dozen egg carton and lightly scented with our TSOUREKI fragrance.

They are a nod to our pascal tradition of dyeing eggs red - a symbol of rebirth and renewal.

They are also a play on the tradition of family and friends cracking red-dyed hard-boiled eggs against each other's at Easter time [tsougrisma - which loosely translates to clinking] - again tied back to themes of rebirth, renewal and resurrection.

Our friends at THE HELLENIC MUSEUM provide further insights about the beautiful tradition in the article: Kokkina Avga: why do we dye eggs for Greek Easter? by Natasha Marinopoulos.

CANDLE CARE

Each RED EASTER EGG CANDLE is individually hand poured and as a result, sizes and shapes of each may ever so slightly vary.

We recommend that these candles be used for display and décor purposes [but can also be burnt if you so wish].

If you wish to burn these candles, you must be mindful of the following candle care instructions [in addition to the standard candle care instructions below]:

Make sure you place the RED EASTER EGG CANDLE in a suitable holder and on a heat-resistant surface - we recommend our GLASS EGG CUP - please also be mindful that excess wax may drip and overflow over the cup too. For this reason, ensure the RED EASTER EGG CANDLE [while burning] is not placed on any delicate surfaces or materials as the red wax may stain the material.

Failure to follow instructions could result in fire, hazard or injury. Keep candle and flame away from children, animals and flammable materials. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Remove all packaging before lighting candle. Do not burn candle for longer than 4-hour intervals. Always burn candle on a level, stable fire/heat resistant surface. Keep away from things that catch fire. Keep away from drafty areas and keep candle out of direct sunlight and heat.

INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the wick trimmed to ensure even burning. Ensure candle is free of any foreign or flammable materials including matches and wick trimmings before burning. Keep wax pool free of debris. Do not touch or move candle when it is burning/hot. Store candle in a cool dry place below 25 degrees celsius and keep away from direct sunlight.
