In fulfillment of a vow, we have available for sale two heavily embellished fourteen day candles for Saint Martha. The image used is the one traditionally found on botanica candles, but we have given Martha the full glamour treatment, as she deserves. Martha is too often portrayed as a drab and modest housekeeper, content to be an eternal caregiver. This is a misreading of her appearance in the New Testament, where she complains to Jesus because she wants her sister Mary’s assistance. Martha is a saint for those who find themselves in the Cinderella role, voluntarily or not, as well as for those responsible people who step up to the plate a disproportionate number of times. Certain female saints are, at least sometimes, portrayed in a goddess-like manner, especially Mary, the Blessed Mother, and Mary Magdalen. We have given Martha this star treatment. She is laden with sequins and sports a shimmery golden halo. 
Martha is not her name— it is a title and one indicating immense respect. Her actual name is unknown. “Martha” is typically defined as an Aramaic word meaning “lady” which is true, but it’s more than that. Martha is the female counterpart of the masculine title ‘Mar’ or master. It is a title bestowed on learned Jewish spiritual authorities. Many of the exilarchs— the Davidic leaders of the Diaspora in Babylonia — were addressed as Mar. It is also a title given to Syriac saints and bishops.
Martha is an exceptionally powerful and multi-faceted saint. This candle is suitable for veneration of Martha of Bethany, as well as her alter ego, Martha the Dominator. The image portrays Martha alongside the tarasque, the dragon she tamed in France. It is crucial to point that Martha is a dragon tamer, not a dragon slayer like her compatriot, Saint George. Martha doesn’t harm dragons, monsters, or the excessively powerful— she just makes them behave. Thus she is associated with commanding formulas like Essence of Bend Over.
