This year's candle did not want to come out of the mold easily. Sometimes it just slips right out and other times it is a bit more difficult, requiring a few moments in the freezer and then finally a tug of war. A friend of Roger's held onto the first few inches of the candle that had managed to slip out of the mold while Roger pulled on the mold. After a few tugs... voila, the candle came out and nobody fell on the floor! Whewwww. I was starting to get worried but it looks beautiful. Now I just have to work on the design. Pictures coming soon.
Bridget, thanks for telling us how the candles are made. Pretty fascinating stuff. We are blessed to have you and Roger in our parish!
