The German three-tiered wooden candle holder for Christmas is known as a Christmas pyramid or Weihnachtspyramide. It is a traditional decoration from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) region of Germany.
How it works
A Christmas pyramid is a carousel with several tiers or levels that hold small, hand-carved figurines and scenes.
At the base of the pyramid are candle holders. When the candles are lit, the warm air rises and turns a propeller or rotor at the top.
The turning propeller causes the carousel tiers to rotate, bringing the figurines to life in a mesmerizing play of light and shadow.
Common scenes and figures
The decorative figures on a Christmas pyramid often depict:
The Nativity story, with Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, shepherds, and the Three Wise Men.
