Stainless Steel Brazier with Matte Black Finish - Standing | Top Only

The Standing Brazier is a freestanding liturgical fire bowl with a brushed stainless steel basin on a matte black steel stand, made for churches that celebrate the Easter Vigil. At the start of the Vigil, a large brazier holds the "new fire" built outside the church, from which the Paschal Candle is lit before the procession into the darkened sanctuary. Standing 39 inches high with a 34-inch-diameter bowl, it is sized for outdoor or sanctuary courtyard use and can also serve other liturgical celebrations involving open flame.

Use & care: Use outdoors or in a courtyard on level ground, with the fire kept well away from flammable materials and attended at all times. After use, let the brazier cool completely, remove ash, and wipe the surfaces clean.

The Brazier Bowl is a 34-inch brushed stainless steel fire bowl used to hold the new fire at the beginning of the Easter Vigil, the fire from which the Paschal Candle is lit before the procession into the darkened church. It is made for parishes, chapels, and religious communities that celebrate Holy Week, and it serves as a replacement bowl or a standalone component for the ZZ3925 base stand, which is sold separately (see FCZ-3925, Wreath Set). At 5 inches deep, it provides ample capacity for a controlled and reverent fire.

Use & care: Set the bowl on a compatible base stand for the blessing of the new fire at the start of the Easter Vigil. Because it has no handles and weighs 45 lbs, plan on two people to lift or move it, and allow it to cool completely before moving or cleaning it. To keep the brushed stainless steel looking its best year after year, wipe it with a soft cloth and mild soap, working in the direction of the grain.
