In the 19th century, a woman from Pallars left the small town where she lived to venture into the city. Francesca Abella set up a small candle shop on Plaça del Pedró in Barcelona’s Raval neighborhood, at a time when sunlight was used to whiten wax and candles lit dark nights.
Francesca Abella was a strong woman who decided to train in the art of cerery, taking forward a company in which she would print all her determination and ability to reinvent herself at a time when business was not exactly a ‘woman’s thing’.
Francesca broke down prejudice and obstacles and built a thriving business that has managed to reinvent itself after almost 160 years. Today the Cerabella company is not only a benchmark, but also ensures a priceless legacy. A way to understand the cerería from a nonconformist spirit and brave, respectful and innovative, like its founder.
The tradition of lighting candles in the window during the holidays is different for each culture. The origins differ according to religious beliefs and even regions. No matter where your family comes from or how parties are celebrated, the use of lights has become a tradition used by many to brighten up your home and make you feel festive during the holidays.
From the mid-17th century until the end of the 18th century, the British government created oppressive laws in an attempt to restrict the practice of Catholicism in Ireland. During this time of religious repression in Ireland, there were no churches allowed. Catholic priests were forced to hide in the desert in caves
The priests quietly returned to the city during the night to celebrate Mass with other believers in their homes. During Christmas, Catholic families would leave their doors unlocked and a candle lit in the window to let the priest know that he was welcome in their home.
With the many waves of Irish immigration to the United States, tradition took root in the world and continued to evolve. For example, in colonial times, a candle lit in a window told travelers that they had a safe place to stay. The candle also served as a signal among the neighbors that the house was open to receive visitors and to light the way for returning family members. From Cerabella everyone is encouraged to maintain this beautiful historical tradition, which is also an excellent excuse to decorate your home with style.

A story that begins with the determination of a strong and self confident woman. A true entrepreneur, Francesca Abella, who came to the profession in 1862 with her own manufactory and raised a prosperous business that today is an emblem of respect for a craft where candles have survived more than 160 years.
