What the Lighting of the Vigil Lamp Symbolizes

According to Orthodox tradition, we keep a vigil lamp lit in our home as a sign of respect and honor to God, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints. Lighting the vigil lamp is a practice rich in Christian symbolism, as this light is likened to the Light of Christ, which illuminates every person, reminding us that Christians should be the lights of the world.

The vigil lamp reminds us that our lives should be radiant like those of the saints, it illuminates our space and drives away evil, while it is also a symbol of offering and gratitude, through which we thank God for life, for salvation, and for all the blessings given to us by His infinite love. Additionally, the oil used in the vigil lamp, which should be high-quality olive oil, symbolizes the infinite mercy of God, while the lamp itself represents the Church.
