Vintage Sacred Heart CandlesThese were so very nearly keepers! Ive never seen candles with sacred hearts before. They depict the sacred heart of Jesus & the sacred heart of Mary and come in their original box, c. 1950s. Refer to photos for size & condition: One candle has a shallow crack on the reverse but both candles stand upright just fine. You could repair the crack by carefully melting the wax. I will be sure to wrap each securely so they stay intact in transit.
