Solid Brass Candlestick Holy Cross Double Candle Stand 11cm 4.33in 8mm

An authentic handcrafted solid brass double candle holder with cross, cast in solid brass with a polished golden luster. Beautifully engineered to hold two separate tapers, this traditional liturgical candle stand measures 11 cm (4.33 inches) in height and 13 cm (5.11 inches) in width, serving as a reverent focal piece for home prayer tables, altars, or icon shelves (eikonostasi).

Designed for Traditional Church Candles (Sizes № 1, 2, and 3):
The candle cups feature an internal diameter of 0.8 cm (8 mm / 0.31 inches), specifically engineered to accommodate standard church taper candles, specifically Sizes № 1, № 2, and № 3 ranging from 0.7 cm to 1 cm (0.28 to 0.39 inches).
Useful Note: Since traditional church candles (such as pure beeswax tapers) are naturally soft and pliable, if your taper is slightly larger than the opening, you can easily press and mold the base of the candle slightly to ensure a snug and secure fit.

Sacred Tradition & Liturgical Design:
In the Orthodox Christian tradition, lighting candles before holy icons is an ancient act of prayer and silent devotion:

• The Holy Cross: Anchored by a central carved cross flanked by two candle arms, this candlestick reflects traditional Byzantine church heritage and solemn beauty.
• An Offering of Light: Placing candles before sacred icons is a time-honored custom where the flame symbolizes sincere prayer and spiritual peace.
• Weighted Footed Base: The solid cast metal construction provides balance and firm stability on mantels, tables, and wooden icon stands.

Handcrafted Details & Quality Metalwork:

• Ornate Relief Carvings: Features detailed traditional Byzantine relief patterns engraved directly into the arms and cross stem.
• Solid Brass Construction: Heavy, durable, and polished to a warm golden sheen, crafted to withstand years of regular liturgical and home use.
• Devotional & Home Decor: Suitable for daily prayer, church chapel altars, festive Christmas table displays, or meaningful Christian gifts.
