Description
A tree of life with room to grow: This oval baptismal candle in soft mint green is handcrafted in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. Its slightly elliptical shape gives the flowing tree more space. This makes the delicate wax threads and leaves in baby blue, pink, turquoise, and silver stand out particularly beautifully.
The color flows in the still-hot wax, creating a soft, individual gradient. The shape and wax motif are also created by hand for each candle – your baptismal candle becomes a unique piece.
Next to the tree of life is a recessed luminous cross in the wax with a fine silver wax border. The tree stands for roots, growth, and one's own path in life; the cross serves as a reminder of the Christian blessing. When you light the candle at the baptism, the light shines through the cross.
Afterward, it can be illuminated from within with the included LED light in the base, without consuming any wax. This way, it can continue to accompany you as a keepsake light of the baptism – also at the First Communion, Confirmation, and other special moments.
Your personal inscription
Upon request, we write the name, baptismal date, and a short baptismal verse or personal dedication with a fine brush in silver on the back. For longer texts, we will coordinate with you to ensure there is enough space for it to be clearly legible.
Base price: €99.90 with tree of life, luminous cross, and LED light, without custom inscription. The inscription costs €0.20 per character; spaces and punctuation marks are included. Enter your text exactly as you want it to appear on the candle, and check names and dates carefully before ordering.
Example price: “Frida 26.09.2026” has 16 characters. The inscription costs €3.20; together with the candle, that makes €103.10, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your custom text.
We write your words individually by hand and coordinate them with the motif. How exactly the lettering will look will only become apparent during the design process. Our product photos and our ever-growing gallery give you an impression 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 motif from soot and heat.
