St. Expedite Community Candle Service - April 19, 2025

Have a light fixed, dressed, blessed, set on my St. Expedite altar, and burned for you in a community altar work service for this famed and beloved patron saint of fast results.

St. Expedite's feast day is April 19th, and while you can petition him any day of the year, you might be able to get a little extra bang for your buck on his feast day. 

But beyond that, his feast day would be an excellent time to thank him for for previous services rendered if you already work with him but don't have the time/space to do anything very elaborate with altars or offerings. Or if you are thinking about working with him and haven't established a relationship yet, this would be a great opportunity to "introduce yourself."

In addition to being the saint one petitions for fast results and luck in a hurry, St. Expedite is also the patron saint invoked against procrastination. He's called on to help break through blockages and end delays, so his help is often sought for matters needing Road Opening and Blockbuster-type work. He's also the patron of computer programmers. 

In some regions and traditions, he is also known as an ally for sending away annoying people or things in a hurry.

Lights will be set and offerings and prayers will be made beginning the night of Friday, April 19th. There is some wiggle room and you can join up after the work starts as long as you see that there are still spots left and it doesn't say "sold out." The service fee covers the cost of your candle and appropriate food, beverage, and flower offerings.

Please note that community altar work services do not come with individual readings/reports, though I will post at least one photo of the work to the Discord "forum," which you'll receive an invitation to after you book.

Options

• Vigil light setting with offerings - a fixed, dressed, blessed vigil light candle set with your petition/intention along with other community members' candles with appropriate food, beverage, and flower offerings. Commercial vigil candles these days generally burn for about five days, though burn time can vary depending on a number of factors. You'll need to provide the date of birth and full name of the person who the light is being set for along with a one- or two-sentence petition, intention, or statement.

• Taper light setting with offerings - taper lights burn for about 2 hours. If you book more than one taper, I will set one per day unless you request otherwise. You can keep the same petition for each or you can have a different petition for each candle.
