Lighting the Candle Arch: A Contemplative Illumination

The Candle Arch is surrounded by seven electric candles, while four additional candles are located behind the easy open and close back panel.

Additional plug-in lights in the foreground, as in the lantern,enhance the atmospheric mood and invite reflection.

Detailed depiction of the Holy Story

In the foreground of the candle arch unfolds the Holy Story. The stable,in which the baby Jesus lies, forms the center.Around the newborn gather Mary and Joseph, a shepherd and the Magi,who hand over their gifts. Accompanied by a camel driver and his animals, the three wise men have traveled through the desert, to see the child. Other figures, such as curious sheep, two shepherds with welcome gifts, Mary's faithful donkey and the angel of the Annunciation, complete the scene.

Craftsmanship masterpiece: The Schwibbogen by Klaus Kolbe

The selection and processing of wood plays a central role in the manufacture of this Schwibbogen. The use of particularly exquisite woods creates an oriental character, which is further enhanced by the placement of palm trees. The contrast between the light wood, which represents the desert and the dark background, which represents the night sky, is perfected by the high quality hand painting in delicate pastel shades.
