Processional Crosses and candles bases for sale | Catholic Church

Bases, stands, or supports of processional candles and Crosses are an important part of the craftsmanship in a Catholic Church.

Their main function, as the name suggests, is to serve as a support for processional pieces of metalware that are often very tall and/or heavy, such as canopy rods, or processional candles or Crosses.

When buying a base, several factors should be taken into account.

• Height and weight of the rods of Crosess

Firstly, the height and weight of the piece of craftsmanship that will be placed on the base. The larger the dimensions, the larger the surface on which it should be supported. It is essential to have a base that is wide enough to prevent possible falls of the Crosses.

In addition to the stands, the height of the tube or anchoring area should also be considered. Lower heights increase the chances of unwanted swaying and falls.

• Aesthetic harmony: colors and materials

Another aspect to consider is the aesthetic and manufacturing characteristics of the Crosses, rods or processional candles that will be placed on the base. In this regard, the color and material of the pieces to be placed on the stand should be analyzed in order to select a suitable support.

For example, if we have golden metal Catholic Church metalware, it may be most appropriate to buy a support in golden brass or black wrought iron.

• Tube diameter or fastening area

The tube or fastening area of bases must have a diameter that fits the measurements of the canopy rods. If the base's diameter is too narrow, the staff will not fit inside the base, and if it is too wide, the pieces of craftsmanship may not maintain proper verticality.
