The Significance of Christian Brass Table Oil Vigil Lamp with Cross
Handmade Orthodox Vigil Oil Lamp
►►The candle◄◄
The word candle comes from the Latin word candela = candle. In the Christian Church, the candle is put in front of the sacred icon. The one located in front of the Crucified , in the sanctuary, is always kept alight and that is why it is called the “ vigilant” candle. A candle is also put in the house’s reredos and according to the tradition it is lighted every day. It is a habit that maintains its deep Christian symbolism with the Light of Christ which enlightens every man , warms the hope, consoles and keeps company to our endless hours of loneliness. The lighting of the candle symbolizes that this is an offer as a sacrifice of respect and honor to God and His saints. It symbolizes the Christ’s light which enlightens every man but it also symbolizes the well known Lord’s order to be Christians , the lights of the world.
The oil which is burnt in our candles as Saint Simeon of Thessaloniki has written, is the God’s mercy which was shown when Noah’s dove came back to the ark to show the end of the cataclysm , having a branch of an olive tree in its beak, or when Jesus during His prayers was watering the olive tree with the drops of His sweat, as He was kneeling under it, that martyr night on the Mount of Olives. Of course, we all know how infinitely more superior the internal and mental enlightenment is than the material one. The God-bearing Father Gregory of Nanzianzus has written : “ Enlighten your words” and his annotator added :” Has it been managed” ?
The oil symbolizes the God’s mercy but the candles symbolize the Church which transmits it and enlightens us. They certainly symbolize the Saints whose light was bright according to the Lord’s .
