The Christmas pyramid Holy Story is a classic motif

On the turntable of the 2nd. level are two shepherds with their sheep. They are worshipping the infant Jesus in the manger, who is standing firmly on a central plate together with Mary and Joseph. Another donkey can be seen on it, who is now sharing the stable with the Holy Family. The third floor shows the scene of the angel's proclamation of the good news. Two shepherds with sheep listen in awe to the arrival of the new Messiah. The top floor is decorated with four angels. They proclaim the news of the birth of the baby Jesus loudly with trumpets to the whole world.

Beautiful light - and shadow play

Christmas pyramids are not only beautiful to look at, the rotating movement creates a fascinating play of light - and shadows. It is created by the impeller wheel at the top. The six burning candles, which are located in special grommets on the lower base, provide the circular movement with their heat. The turntables located on a central metal rod rotate. The wooden - clad rod sits with its tip in a glass bearing. If you want to change the speed of the rotations, you can do this by tilting the wings.

Please only use this pyramid with wax candles (pyramid candles) with a diameter of 17 mm. These are available in our online store.
