The Library of Light
Every candle comes with a key.
Every candle carries its own key, printed right on its label. Turn it in the Library of Light, and that candle’s story is unsealed: a storybook tale of the feast, its history, and the customs families have kept for centuries.

Our story
Keeping the feasts at home
For centuries, the Church’s feasts were woven into the structure of family life: puddings stirred on Stir-up Sunday, stockings hung by the hearth for St. Nicholas, coffee and pastries carried through a dark house on St. Lucy’s Day.
Glimble began with a simple wish: to bring those customs back into the home, one candle at a time.
Bring a feast home.
Our first collection is made for Advent and Christmas, and for every Sunday of the year.
