This Saint Hildegard of Bingen prayer candle honors the Benedictine abbess, visionary, composer, and writer of the 12th century. It is a distinctive Catholic gift for musicians, writers, women religious, and anyone who loves medieval spirituality.
About Saint Hildegard. Hildegard was born around 1098 and died on September 17, 1179, at the age of 81. She was elected magistra of her community at Disibodenberg in 1136, then founded the monastery at Rupertsberg in 1150 and another at Eibingen in 1165. She recorded her visions in the book Scivias, wrote roughly 69 surviving liturgical compositions along with the morality play Ordo Virtutum, and wrote Physica and Causae et Curae on nature and the human body.
Pope Benedict XVI extended her veneration to the whole Church on May 10, 2012, and named her a Doctor of the Church on October 7, 2012. The image on this candle is a medieval-style manuscript illumination.
Choose this candle for a musician or choir member, a writer, a Benedictine oblate, a herbalist or gardener, or a woman celebrating a confirmation.
