Description
A light for the day of baptism and the years to come: This baptismal candle is handcrafted in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. You can choose between Aurora Borealis, strawberry cream, blue, and aloe vera.
We add the colors to the still-hot wax. There they flow freely into one another, creating soft transitions – almost like a watercolor painting. Every color gradient is unique. This means the child receives a baptismal candle that is truly one of a kind.
A dove, cross, water, and fish are recessed into the wax. When lit, the light shines through the motifs and makes them stand out. Fine pearl wax surrounds the cross. This version has no sunbeams around the cross.
For the baptism, you can solemnly light the candle with a flame. Afterwards, it can be illuminated from within using the included LED light in the base, without consuming any wax. This way, it can always accompany you as a memorial light of the baptism – also for First Communion, Confirmation, and other special occasions.
Your personal inscription
Choose silver or gold for the decoration and lettering. Upon request, we will hand-write the name, baptismal date, and a baptismal verse or personal dedication on the candle with a fine brush. For longer texts, we will coordinate with you to ensure there is enough space for it to be clearly legible.
Base price: €69.90 with LED light, without custom lettering. The lettering costs €0.20 per character entered; spaces and punctuation marks are included.
For the font color, please enter "S" for silver or "G" for gold before your actual text in the custom field. A separate selection of font color is currently not possible in the shop. This letter and the following space are also included in the calculation; both are only for specifying the color and will not be written on the candle. Please check the name, date, and baptismal verse carefully before ordering.
Example price: "S Frida 26.09.2026 Psalm 91:11+12" has 33 characters entered. The lettering costs €6.60; together with the candle, that is €76.50, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your entry.
We write your words by hand individually and coordinate them with the motifs. What the lettering will look like exactly will only become apparent during the design process. Our product photos and our ever-growing gallery give you an idea of our handwriting – we look forward to carefully crafting your candle for you.
For the day of the baptism
Please provide the date of the baptismal ceremony when ordering so that we can coordinate the production accordingly. With the included lighting candle, you can solemnly transfer the light of the Easter or altar candle to the baptismal candle. This way, you do not have to hold the decorated candle directly over a large flame and protect the wick and wax motifs from soot and heat.
