First Communion Candle - Candle Making - Commercial License

This is a special project I did for my niece. I gifted her a candle designed by me for her first communion.

For those of you who are interested, there is special research behind each design intention. From bottom to the top:

HOC FACITE IN MEAM COMMEMORATIONEM
"Do this in memory of me", words spoken by Christ in the last supper (Mathew, 26:26) the celebration of the eucharist.

STATIONS IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST
The virgin Mary is visited by the angel.
Baby Jesus is born.
Jesus (as a boy) working with Joseph
The last supper
Crucifiction
Resurrection (Jesus leaves his crypt)

THE HOLY CHALICE
A grotto depicting the body and blxxd of the Christ (consecrated wafer and the wine chalice). The wafer is inscribed with IHS, which is a contraction for the Greek form of the name of JESUS.

CHURCH ALLEGORY AND SYMBOLS
Pointed arches and columns, reminiscent of gothic architecture, where monumental temples were built with large towers to express the glory of God on earth.
Wheat spikes, the shining star of Bethlehem and the cross crosslet, which is comprised of four smaller crosses, and symbolizes the spread of the gospel to the four corners of the world.
And finally, the tower's section is an octogon, the number 8 symbolizes rebirth and renewal, as Jesus revealed himself 8 times after his resurrection, and also, after the creation, God returned to work on the 8th day.

I am a good uncle :)

This is a 3D model, you can either print it or use it to make silicone molds for candlemaking.

Once you buy this model, it's yours. You cannot resell it, but you can print and sell the prints if you want, or once you make the mold, you can sell as many candles as you want.

If you like the model featured here, you can check it out, and some more, here: My creations

I printed this in an FDM printer, and did require some supports.
