Saint Agatha is often seen as a symbol of purity and virtue. Her story underscores the importance of maintaining one's faith and moral values in the face of adversity and temptation, which is a message that remains relevant in today's world. Over time, she has become associated with breast-related ailments, particularly breast cancer. Devotees began to pray to Saint Agatha for her intercession and assistance in cases of breast cancer and other diseases or conditions affecting the breasts.
Each candle comes with a prayer to the patron saint, holy oil as part of the wax, and a prayer coin embedded into the candle. Before the first lighting, read out loud the prayer to the patron saint, then light the candle. Once the wax has burned all the way down after many uses, remove the coin at the bottom and keep it in your wallet, purse, or car - or bury it in your yard as a way of blessing the entire household.
