St Dimitrios Candle- Livani / Frankincense Fragrance

Saint Demetrios (or Dimitrios) of Thessaloniki is one of the most popular Christian saints not only in Greece but across the Orthodox Christian world, with millions of people bearing his name, in all of its many beautiful variations. Saint Demetrios is also the well-known patron saint of Thessaloniki. He is celebrated on the 26^th of October. According to tradition, St. Demetrios died at a very young age, most likely when he was only 26.

The most probable course of events suggests that his open and unashamed manner of showing his Christian faith led people to report him to Galerius, the Roman Emperor.
This faith, as a son of a pious Christian family, was ultimately what led young Demetrios to a martyr’s death.

These candles are lit as a form of prayer, meditation, or devotion, and they are used to symbolize the presence of faith. People may light these candles and say prayers or make requests, believing that their prayers will be heard and answered.
