Hanging Carved Vigil Lamp

Hanging vigil lamp with incised decorations. This Greek orthodox vigil lamp is placed in front of sacred icons in churches or homes as a symbol of faith and adds a spiritual and monastic atmosphere, symbolizing the light of Christ and divine mercy. The brass material ensures durability, making it a long-lasting addition to any prayer space. It comes with a large red glass oil lamp cup inside. Instructions for lighting the vigil lamp: First, add 1 to 2 centimeters of olive oil or pomace oil. Secure the wick well in the wick holder, ensuring it is positioned as low as possible, so that 2/3 of the wick is submerged in the oil. This helps prevent the lamp from smoking and the wick from burning too quickly. Next, place the wick holder in the oil and light the wick. Care should be taken to ensure the flame does not exceed one centimeter in height to avoid smoke and blackening of the surrounding area (walls, ceiling). Height: 21 cm / 8.26 in.
