The Symbolism of Lighting the Oil Lamp

According to Orthodox tradition, we keep an oil lamp lit in our home as a sign of respect and honor toward God, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints. Lighting the oil lamp is a practice rich in Christian symbolism, as this particular light represents the Light of Christ, which illuminates every person. It also reminds us, as Christians, that we should be the light of the world.
The oil lamp reminds us that our lives should be as radiant as the lives of the Saints. It illuminates our space, drives away evil, and serves as an offering and expression of gratitude—thanking God for life, salvation, and all that His infinite love provides. Additionally, the oil used in the lamp, which should be high-quality olive oil, symbolizes God’s infinite mercy, while the lamp itself represents the Church.
