Advent Candles for Advent wreath

[cfagnant]

Can you reuse advent candles in the Advent wreath each year or should you put in new candles each year?

 

[Xanthippe_Voorhees]

I suppose one could put in new candles every year, but at least mine are sacramental blessed candles so it would be wrong to toss them out.

I suppose I could burn them down before the season was over, but if it was just to burn them and you did not enjoy them, it would be rather silly.

We are called to be good stewards of what is given to us. No need to be wasteful on candles.

 

[po18guy]

Candles are candles. Prayer is prayer. Re-using the Lord’s prayer is no problem, right?

 

[sr.christinaosf]

We don’t get rid of the candles after just one year. You can rotate them so that the same candle isn’t burned all the time.
If they are blessed, you would want to burn or bury them when they are no longer usable.
