I have always been fascinated by these types of religious candles.Growing up Roman Catholic in Arlington, VA in the 1970's and 1980's, this was not part of my Catholic identity.
It appears that these candles are part of the ethnic Catholic community, especially the Hispanic Catholic community. The back of the candle had Catholic prayers in both English and Spanish.
As Catholic ethnic communities grow in Northern Virginia, their members' ideofacts have become more prevalent in local stores.
I found these candles in a Target in Alexandria, Virginia.
