Origin & Lore

Marriage oil belongs to the family of named love and commitment oils in the spiritual-supply tradition. It is used to draw a proposal, strengthen a marriage and keep passion alive between spouses. It is dressed on candles, rings and the bed.

In Lisbon, young women still pray to Saint Anthony for a husband, and the city marries couples in his name every June.

Saint Anthony of Padua has long been prayed to as a matchmaker in Portugal and Brazil, and his feast in June is a festival of couples. Spiritual-supply houses sold Marriage oils for those hoping for a proposal and for couples wanting to keep their union strong.
