This Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth prayer candle honors the priest and his wife who became the parents of John the Baptist. It is a thoughtful Catholic and Orthodox gift for baptisms, for new parents, and for couples hoping for a child.
About Saints Zechariah and Elizabeth. The Gospel of Luke (chapter 1) tells of Zechariah, a Jewish priest, and Elizabeth, from a priestly family, who were righteous and elderly and had no child. While Zechariah served at the altar of incense, the angel Gabriel told him that Elizabeth would bear a son named John. Zechariah doubted and was struck mute until the child was named. Elizabeth was a relative of Mary, who visited her during her pregnancy.
When Zechariah wrote that the child's name was John, he regained his speech and spoke the prophecy known as the Benedictus.
Choose this candle for a baptism or a godparent gift, a name day for someone named John, Elizabeth, or Zechariah, or a couple praying for children.
