Nothing beats the scent of cinnamon to capture the spirit of the holidays. The square design gives a modern twist that sets it apart from other candles, but the best part is that this candle provides employment opportunities for people in Honduras. Truly a heartwarming piece for Christmas or any time.

La Luciérnaga supports ADP financially while providing the women artisans with income. La Luciérnaga artisans produce a variety of candles, decorated with natural materials like dried flowers and leaves.Candelas La Luciérnaga was established in 1999. Women of the ADP abused women’s shelter decided to make decorative candles after having difficulty raising funds for the shelter.
