This Saint Josephine Bakhita prayer candle honors the Sudanese woman who was enslaved as a child and became a Canossian sister. It is a moving Catholic gift for anyone praying for freedom, healing, and hope.
About Saint Josephine Bakhita. Bakhita was born around 1869 in Darfur, in what is now Sudan. She was seized at about age 7 and held in slavery for roughly twelve years. In Italy she came to the Canossian Sisters, entered the novitiate in 1893, and took her vows in 1896. She lived in Schio from 1902 until her death on February 8, 1947.
Pope John Paul II beatified her on May 17, 1992, and canonized her on October 1, 2000.
Choose this candle for a Catholic who prays for those living in captivity, for a missionary or a Sudanese community, or for a gift of courage and gratitude.
