Description
This traditional ruby votive light glass brings an extra ambiance conducive to a solemn prayer time. Use this glass as a votive candle holder or as a vigil lamp. Your order will include a lamp (glass) cork and a package of wicks for easy lighting.
A votive glass has a unique role in offering prayers at home and inside the Church. Traditionally, it is used to hold pure olive oil that feeds a floating wick to be lit. Lighting a lamp is essential in Orthodox Christian traditions as it reminds us of Christ illuminating our souls. Following ancient practices, the olive oil is extracted using a time-honored, labor-intensive method representing devotion and sacrifice.
Light this lamp before the icons or any special place in your home. The light that radiates from the lamp will always remind you of the ever-present Jesus Christ as the Light of the World. The light of candles makes a beautiful addition to any church service or prayer gathering.

- Prepare the Container: Choose a heat-resistant, preferably clear, glass container. Fill it about three-quarters full with water.
- Add Oil: Pour a thin layer of Olive oil on top of the water.
- Assemble the Wick: Insert the wick through the hole in the float, ensuring the silver (or foil) side is facing up.
- Place the Wick: Gently place the assembled wick onto the surface of the oil.
- Light the Wick: Use a lighter or match to ignite the exposed wick.
- Enjoy the Flame: The flame will appear to float on the surface of the water, supported by the oil layer.
- Safety Precautions: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Ensure wicks are securely anchored to their floats to prevent them from falling into the water. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
