Bayberry CandleHappy New Year 2014!!!

The burning of a bayberry candle on Christmas Eve and New Year’s has become a tradition for some. Believed to have been started with early Colonists, candles were made of actual bayberries, due to the greenish-white wax around the bayberry fruit. The wax was believed to have special health benefits and burning a bayberry candle, made of actual bayberries, was believed to give good fortune for the following year.
“

“A bayberry candle burned to the socket, will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.”

Some Christians believed that the light of a bayberry candle on Christmas Eve welcomed Christ into their home. A legend states that the Bay Tree sheltered the holy family during a storm and as result will always be safe from lightning.

I am sharing my bayberry candle with everyone to wish you best of health, good fortune, love, luck and miracles! Be well and have a Great 2014!
