This Blessed Estephan Nehme prayer candle honors the Lebanese Maronite monk who offered a long illness to God in quiet humility. It is a gentle Maronite Catholic gift for someone living with chronic pain or long-term illness.
About Blessed Estephan. Estephan Nehme was a Maronite Catholic monk of Lebanon, formed in the Syriac Maronite monastic tradition. His body began to fail in early adulthood, and he served in his monastery until illness confined him to a bed. He is remembered for obedience, humility, and for offering his pain to God for others. He died in 1938 at the Monastery of Saints Cyprien and Justine in Kfifan, and his body was reported to have been found incorrupt in the monastery tomb more than a decade later.
He has been beatified, which is why he is called Blessed, and his beatification was celebrated at the Kfifan monastery.
Choose this candle for a person with chronic illness or pain, a caregiver, a Maronite parish, or a Lebanese Catholic family.
