• 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.

  • Τρι- (Tri-): A Greek prefix meaning “three”, indicating the number of candles or branches.

  • -κάντηλη (-kantili): Derived from “καντήλι”, meaning oil lamp or candle used in religious settings.

  • Λυχνία (Lychnia): Translates to “lampstand” or “candelabrum”, a fixture that holds lamps or candles, often with symbolic significance in Orthodox liturgical tradition.

  Together, Τρικάντηλη Λυχνία beautifully captures the item’s form and theological meaning: a lampstand with three lights, shining as a reflection of divine presence and unity.
