Braziers are mentioned in the Bible. The Hebrew word rendered “brazier” (´ach) is of Egyptian origin, suggesting that the brazier itself was an innovation from Egypt.

King Jehoiakim had a brazier, probably one made of metal, in his winter house( Jer 36:22,23). At some churches, a brazier is used to create a small fire, called new fire, which is then used to light the Paschal candle during the Easter Vigil. It is also said by Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxochitl that the Tepanec Tlatoani (Basically a king but literally meaning "Great Speaker") Tezozomoc, slept between two Braziers because he was so old he produced no natural heat.
