Description
Two lights for a special day: The large baptismal candle accompanies the child through the baptism. The small godparent light is a personal thank you to the godmother or godfather and can continue to shine at home later.
We craft both pieces by hand in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. Sky blue and light gray flow gently into one another in the still-hot wax – almost like a watercolor. This makes every color gradient slightly different and turns your set into a unique piece. A cross, dove, little feet and fine wax elements adorn the baptismal candle.
Both lights can shine without an open flame: In the baptismal candle, an LED light is integrated into the base. For the godparent light, a separate LED light is included. For the baptismal ceremony, you can light the baptismal candle with a flame. For the godparent light, you use a tealight for real candlelight in the included glass; its outer wax shell is not lit.
A thank you for the godparent role
We design the small godparent light to match the baptismal candle. The front features the occasion, the child's name and the baptismal date, while the back says "Thank you for being a godparent". This design is included in the set price. Due to its small size, the godparent light is not intended for an additional message.
Your custom lettering on the baptismal candle
On the large baptismal candle, we can write the name, the baptismal date and personal words with a fine brush in silver upon request. A baptismal verse on the back is also possible if there is enough space for it to be clearly legible.
Set price: €119.90, including the described godparent light and both LED lights, without custom lettering on the large baptismal candle. Only the additional lettering on the baptismal candle costs €0.20 per character. Spaces and punctuation marks are included. Enter your text exactly as it should appear on the candle, and double-check the name and date in particular.
Example price: "Lina 12.05.2026" has 15 characters. The lettering on the baptismal candle costs €3.00; together the price is €122.90, plus shipping if applicable. An additional baptismal verse will be charged according to its character count.
We write your words individually by hand and coordinate them with the design. How the lettering on your candle will look exactly will only become apparent during the design process. Our product photos and the ever-growing gallery give you an impression of our handwriting – we look forward to crafting your set with care for you.

For the baptismal ceremony
Please provide the date of the baptism when ordering so that we can coordinate the production with your special day. 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.
Safe use
Never leave burning candles unattended. Place the baptismal candle in a suitable, stable candle holder. For the tealight in the godparent light, use exclusively the included glass: It must stand centered and securely and remain at least half filled with gravel during use. Place the cork plate under the entire drip tray. Protect both pieces from direct sunlight and heating warmth. Keep batteries away from small children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point.
Your candle makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg wish you a beautiful glow and much joy in sharing the light.
