A Votive Candle from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France: This small votive candle, in its original, unused condition, was purchased in the cathdral in Paris during a June 2025 visit by Veriditas Founder Lauren Artress, Executive Director Dawn Matheny, and staff member Jenny Slama. It is a powerful symbol of prayer, hope, and the light of devotion.

A Devotional Keepsake Pouch from Chartres: This beautiful pouch features a stunning depiction of Mary with a golden halo and intricate golden adornments on her clothing. It is perfect for holding coins, cards, or other small keepsakes. Inside you'll find...

Two Medallion Pocket Cards: each version of Mary comes with a beautifully detailed and ornate medallion. These medallions can be used as a necklace, a keychain embellishment, a pocket token, or simply displayed as a personal symbol of faith.

A Hand-Felted Candle Ornament: This beautifully crafted ornament complements the package's aesthetic with its rich blue and white felt and a golden yellow flame. It is a charming and artistic piece to add to your collection. A lighted candle can be a spiritual symbol because it represents hope, enlightenment, and the presence of the divine.
