Heat-Driven Rotation: You place small candles or tealights into the holders positioned around the red base.The Physics: As the candles burn, the rising warm air creates a thermal updraft. This heat hits the angled fan blades (or "windmill" rotors) at the top, causing the entire central rod and attached nativity scene platform to spin automatically.The Imagery: This specific piece features a classic, hand-painted wooden arch decorated with stars, showcasing a central Nativity carousel with Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and the Three Wise Men. Safety First: Always use the correct candle size intended for the pyramid's holders, and never leave lit candles unattended near the wooden frame. See less
