About this item

  • PACKAGE INCLUDES: 30gr (1.06 oz) beeswax wicks (250+) and 4 cork floats. The box is NOT included. Total 250+ wicks and 4 cork floats.
  • HOW TO USE: Place a wick into the cork float. Fill the glass half full with water, half full with oil and lit the wick. Please research more if this is your first time experience with vigil oil lamps! Do NOT use liquid paraffin. Only olive oil or other vegetable oil. Traditionally in Orthodoxy, the vigil lamps are placed before an icon as a reminder that Jesus Christ is the light of the world and illumines our souls.
  • SAFETY TIPS: Never leave burning vigil lamps unattended. Refill the oil in your vigil lamp when one-quarter to one-third of the oil is used up. This will prevent the glass from overheating and causing unpleasant odors. Keep flammable items away from the lamps, especially above it. Candles placed on, or near tables, altars, or shrines, must be watched by an adult.

BlessedMart Orthodox Icons - Vigil Oil Lamps

Prayer for Lighting a Vigil Lamp:

Set our hearts on fire with love for you, O Christ our God,

So that in its flame we may love you with all our heart,

With all our mind, with all our soul, and with all our strength,

And our neighbors as ourselves,

So that by keeping your commandments we may glorify you,

The giver of all good gifts. Amen.
