A place for prayer, remembrance, and connection.
This handcrafted steel prayer candle tree holds 48 tea light candles on individually spaced, branching holders. Designed and built by welding artist Jeremy Werkheiser of Metal Relic in Northeastern Pennsylvania, it combines a functional candle stand with an original tree sculpture for churches, chapels, and memorial spaces.
Design and craftsmanship
Textured steel branches rise and spread from a gathered trunk, with each candle resting on its own platform. The open arrangement gives each flame its own place within the tree. Decorative steel leaves, an attached round table, and curved legs complete the design.
The tree, table, and hanging bucket are made entirely from steel. Each piece is individually fabricated and welded by Jeremy, so variations in texture and shaping are part of its handmade character.

Made to order for your space
Starting at $6,500 for a 48-candle tree comparable to the original shown. Custom candle counts, dimensions, and finishes can be discussed to suit your congregation and space. Changes to the design or scope are priced individually.
The original tree was commissioned for St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown, New York. The photographs show that completed installation; this listing is for a newly commissioned piece.
Ordering and delivery
