Christmas Card "I Lit A Candle For You"

The Christmas Card "I Lit A Candle For You" is a slim card with a printed candle design. Inside it reads: “I lit a candle for you. Thoughts & Prayers are with you this Christmas.”

Prayerful Greeting for Someone Who Is Grieving

Lighting a candle for someone is a familiar Irish gesture, and this card lets them know you have done so. It suits a friend who is ill, someone who has been bereaved during the year or a relative far from home.

Lighting a candle in the church or at home for someone in need is a familiar practice for many Irish families, especially at Christmas and around the anniversary of a death. Letting them know you have done so is a quiet way of saying they are in your thoughts and prayers.

The card suits a friend in hospital or going through treatment, a neighbour who lost a husband or wife during the year, a family facing their first Christmas without someone, or a relative abroad who cannot come home. The candle design is simple and calm, with no busy festive scene, and the printed words do the hard work, so you need only add their name and yours.

Slim Card with Its Own Envelope

The card is 7.5 x 19 cm and comes individually wrapped with its own envelope. It can also go in with flowers or a gift. See more in our Christmas range.

At 7.5 x 19 cm, the card is narrower and taller than most Christmas cards, so it stands out on a shelf among the others and fits neatly inside a bouquet or beside a box of chocolates.

Being individually wrapped, it stays clean in a handbag until you see the person or get to the post office. Write a short line inside, perhaps naming the church where you lit the candle, and add a Mass card if you would like to do more.

It can be sent at any point in Advent or over Christmas, and it is also a kind card to send in the New Year to someone who found the season difficult.
