The oil lamp reminds us that our lives should be bright like the saints, illuminates our space and drives away evil, while it is a token of offering and gratitude, with which we thank God for life, for salvation and for all that his infinite love gives us. Moreover, the oil used in the oil lamp, which must be good quality olive oil, symbolizes God’s infinite mercy, while the candle itself is the Church. Dimensions: 11 x 14,5 Net Weight: 380 gr
