Dikiriy-Trikiriys

The soft glow and radiance of candles adds much to the ambience of any Orthodox Christian church service, especially an important one such as the Divine Liturgy. Keep alive the sacred traditions of this hierarchical service by ordering one of Istok Church Supplies’ ornate dikirion and trikirion supplies. 

 

Symbolism of These Candle Stands

In Orthodox Christian tradition, dikirion and trikirion are the two candle stands that hold the candles. A dikirion holds two candles whereas the trikirion holds three. They are also sometimes referred to as dikiriy and trikiriys. These liturgical candlesticks are used by a Bishop when giving blessing to a congregation during the Divine Liturgy. Everything found in an Orthodox Christian Church has special significance that has to do with faith. Dikirion stands for the dual nature of Christ whereas trikirion symbolizes the Holy Trinity. Both these candle stands consist of a richly decorated flat base that is connected to the actual candle holder via a vertical shaft. We have tried to ensure that dikirion and trikirion supplies we offer continue the timeless and ethereal beauty of liturgical candle stands of bygone eras.
