Votive Candle Holder

As mentioned in my first blog post for Valentine’s Craft Ideas, I won’t be doing this in alphabetical order because some of my entries here require time. So I will only craft for each letter depending of the vacant time that I have.

So let’s jump to V…

V is for Votive Candle Holder

Votive candle according to dictionary.com:

adjective

1. offered, given, dedicated, etc., in accordance with a vow: a votive offering.

2. performed, undertaken, etc., in consequence of a vow.

3. of the nature of or expressive of a wish or desire.

Quoting Wikepedia:

symbolize the “prayers the worshiper is offering for him or herself, or for other people.

So for those who are desperate for looking a partner, use votive in offering prayer. LOL…. Kidding aside, with or without a votive, prayer will surely help you find your heart’s desire.
