Upgraded with an integrated wire extension handle, they allow you to safely lift, place, or adjust your floating candles on the oil's surface without getting your fingers messy.

A Beautiful, Timeless Orthodox Tradition

Lighting a traditional oil candle (kandili) and placing it directly in front of holy icons is one of the oldest and most profound practices in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The steady, quiet flame symbolizes the unceasing light of Christ, a continuous prayer rule, and the warm devotion of the household. Our premium wholesale bundle ensures you always have a fresh, durable float ready for your family altar, shrine, or church sanctuary.

📖 How to Use Your Vigil Lamp Float:

1. Prepare the Wick: Gently insert a standard waxed cotton wick through the central opening of the aluminium core on the cork float.
2. Layer the Glass: Fill your vigil glass half full with clean water, then top the remaining half with high-quality vegetable oil (such as pure olive oil).
3. Set & Light: Using the convenient integrated wire handle, carefully lower the cork float onto the surface of the oil, allow the wick to absorb the oil for a moment, and safely light it.

⚠️ Important Safety Tips:

• Never Leave Unattended: Do not burn oil lamps without close supervision. Children are strictly forbidden from handling or using them.
• Safe Adjustments: Always extinguish the flame completely before removing the wick case or adjusting the wick placement.
• Clear Environment: Remove any flammable materials, fabrics, or loose papers up close to the burning area.
• The Water Rule: Do not fill the entire glass with oil. Use half water (or more) and the rest with vegetable oil. This critical balance prevents the glass from overheating, snapping from thermal stress, and causing unpleasant odors.
• Altar Supervision: Candles placed on or near tables, home altars, family shrines, or church eikonostasia must be actively watched by a responsible adult.
