THE KNOW-HOW OF CIERGERIE DE LOURDES

Fabrication artisanale

Ciergerie de Lourdes today employs fifteen or so people. Production, even if it is assisted, remains artisanal. Know-how has been passed down since 1928.

PRODUCTION OF DEVOTIONAL ALTAR CANDLES

Soaking Technique : The wick maintained vertically on a frame is dipped several times into a bath of paraffin at a constant temperature until the sought-after size is obtained. The blue base is a reminder of the Marian symbol.

PASCHAL CANDLES AND ALTAR CANDLES

Moulding Technique : different sized moulds are filled with liquid paraffin allowing large sizes to be manufactured.
