This Saint Anthony the Great prayer candle honors the father of Christian monasticism. It is a fitting gift for anyone who loves the desert fathers, solitude, and a life of prayer.
About Saint Anthony. Anthony was born around 251 in Egypt. After hearing the Gospel words, "Go, sell what you have and give to the poor," he gave away his inheritance and withdrew to the desert. Saint Athanasius wrote his life, which spread the monastic ideal across the Church. Anthony died around 356.
He is revered in the Coptic, Orthodox, and Catholic Churches.
Choose this candle for a monk or monastery, a Coptic family, someone seeking quiet and discipline, or a reader of the desert fathers.
