Holy Nativity Convent
An Orthodox Christian community of nuns on the outskirts of Boston, Holy Nativity Convent produces a variety of handcrafted items for churches and individuals. 100% pure beeswax candles, laser engraved wood icons and plaques, greeting cards—both printed and laser engraved, icon buttons, favors for baptisms and weddings, laser engraved glassware, and sewing for Orthodox churches are among the items that are made here at the convent by the sisters. We also offer a variety of brass and glass candle holders as well as prayer ropes. In addition, we import a variety of olive-wood and mother of pearl products from the Holy Land.
Great Lent is an especially busy time for us, with many orders and extended church services. The order deadline for delivery before Pascha for made-to-order items—that is, all laser engraved items, laser engraved cards, decorated candles, icon buttons and frames—is April 21 at the latest.
We will be able to fill orders—hopefully for delivery before Pascha—for candles and most stock items until April 28. Orders placed after that time may not arrive before Pascha.
Please also note that we won’t be shipping orders during Bright Week, (May 5-11) so orders placed then will be filled and shipped after May 12.
