Description
Decorated with Carved Byzantine Patterns
The candlestick symbolises the Light of the Lord that he emits to the faithful. It is a very nice and beneficial practice of believers to reverently keep the Lord’s Light in their home. Through the lamp His Light bathes the inhabitants of the house.
The lighting of the candle symbolizes that it is offered as a sacrifice of respect and honor to God and his Saints. It also symbolises the light of Christ that illuminates every person, as well as the well-known order of our Lord that we, the Christians, should be the lights of the world.
Finally, the candlesticks also symbolise the saints themselves whose Light shone, according to the word of the Lord, “before men, so that they may see the good works and glorify the Father in heaven”.
