Pyramid of the Nativity for tea lights and candles by Richard Glässer

Richard Glässer Nativity Christmas Pyramid for Tealights & Candles

A traditional Nativity scene shaped by Erzgebirge craftsmanship

The Richard Glässer Nativity Christmas Pyramid for Tealights & Candles brings the Christmas story to life through warm natural wood and carefully arranged figures. At its centre, Mary and Joseph gather beside baby Jesus in the manger. The finely crafted figures stand beneath an elegant curved arch that frames the Holy Family and gives the composition a sheltered, peaceful appearance. Above them, a prominent star recalls the Star of Bethlehem, while additional figures and animals enrich this atmospheric Nativity scene.

Natural wood defines the pyramid’s calm, timeless character. Different wood tones create subtle contrasts and highlight the carefully shaped details without distracting from the traditional design. Delicate trees decorate the upper rotating platform beneath the fan wheel. Together, these elements create an authentic piece of German Christmas decoration rooted in the celebrated wooden folk art of the Erzgebirge region.
