Jesus-Scented Candles Allow Him To Be The Light During Your Cheesy Gropefest

A line of candles purported to smell like Jesus Christ have been multiplying faster than loaves, fishes or Chipotle restaurants:

Light up the candle called “His Essence” and its makers say you’ll experience the fragrance of Christ.

Bob Tosterud and wife Karen say the formula is all spelled out in Psalm 45.

“It’s a Messianic Psalm referring to when Christ returns and his garments will have the scent of myrrh, aloe and cassia,” says Karen Tosterud.

Jesus smelled like an artsy Wiccan out in Arizona? Knew it!

Wondering what that must smell like, Karen Tosterud ordered those oils, a combination that produces sort of a flowery, cinnamon aroma. Then she called on a friend who just happened to be a candle-maker.

“And in October, we got our first batch of 768 candles. We had no idea how it would go,” Karen Tosterud says.

But once word got out they went through 10,000 candles.

As much as we love Jesus, we don’t want to think about rubbing His essence behind our ears. Plus, we’re fairly certain that, despite the amount of scented oils He might have used, Jesus smelled more like “sweat,” “leather” and “a time before body wash.”
