La Mano Poderosa Candle, or Powerful Hand Candle, is a symbol believed to be protective. It is can only be found on holy cards and on our votive candles. This particular candle shows the image of Jesus wounded hand, with all five fingers stretched up towards the heavens. Upon each fingertip, stands a Saint. Cherub angels float above the hand in the sky. Four female angels kneel to the left of the hand and stare upward at it, clutched in their hands are the tools used for Jesus crucifixion. One bears a bowl in which to catch the blood that seeps from the gash in the hand, the other a hammer and nails, the third a cross, and the fourth a crown of thorns. The La Mano Poderosa Candle is an absolute work of art and represents such a powerful image that words cannot explain. La Mano Poderosa is a powerful and moving image and is sometimes referred to as a talisman. Some people believe that it has been affixed with magical contributions. Our votive La Mano Poderosa Candle has been formed of a fine wax that will last for up to 120 hours of candle light. Candle La Mano Poderosa is used for protection and benediction all year long but is commonly used during holiday or religious periods. Burn this candle to protect your thoughts and prayers and carry them to the five saints as depicted in the image.
