The term “Trikantili Lychnia” (Greek: Τρικάντηλη Λυχνία) refers to a traditional three-branch candleholder or lampstand commonly used in Orthodox Christian worship. It is often placed on the altar or in the sanctuary and symbolizes the Holy Trinity, with each candle representing one Person: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The word itself is deeply rooted in Greek ecclesiastical language and reflects both the structure and sacred purpose of the object.
