The term Pentakeri Lychnia (Greek: Πεντάκερη Λυχνία) is a descriptive name rooted in the Greek language, commonly used to refer to a five-candle ecclesiastical lampstand in Orthodox Christian worship.
It is formed by combining three meaningful parts:
“Penta-” (πέντα), meaning “five”;
“-keri” (κερί), derived from “keriá,” meaning “candles”; and
“Lychnia” (λυχνία), which translates to “lamp” or “lampstand.”
Together, the name literally means “five-candle lampstand.” This type of lamp is not only functional, holding five candles for liturgical use, but also symbolic—often representing divine light, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the faithful gathered in unity. The word's structure reflects the practical beauty of the object it describes: a sacred vessel that brings light, order, and spiritual meaning to Orthodox worship spaces.
