The Cerería Santa Cruz does not escape this custom, and is located on Calle Atocha, opposite the church of Santa Cruz. Although there is data from a sixteenth-century chandelier on this same street, the first inscription on this establishment dates from 1895 at number 7, which is moved to number 5 a few years later: the Villa Archive records the petition to open the business in July 1900, and the definitive concession to its owner, Justo del Río, in August of that same year. The Iturrieta family took charge of the candle factory from the first decade of the twentieth century until the fifties, when it passed to the Vega family. According to Encarnita, its current owner, today the manufacture of Santa Cruz focuses on ex-votos, decorative wax figures and church offerings (candles and lamps), although a considerable part of the production, of different colors and sizes, goes intended for the use of decorative candles for the home. In a matter of ex-votos, they usually make hearts, heads, feet and arms of men, women and children, eyes of Santa Lucía, throats of San Blas, etc. Their candles (unlike candles made industrially with paraffin) include more than half of their natural wax content.
