Poppy - Set of 2 | Floral Beeswax Candle

The red poppy represents the blood of Christ and resurrection in Christian tradition. It also has become an internationally known and recognized symbol of the lives sacrificed in war and the hope that none died in vain. In the battlefields of Belgium during World War I poppies grew wild amid the ravages of war.

In Flanders Fields-By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields
