Keep the Sacred Tradition Alive with Authentic Monastic Craftsmanship Bring the timeless warmth and peaceful glow of the Orthodox faith into your home with these 100% Handmade Cross-Shaped Cork Floats (Καντιλήθρες). Beautifully cut into the sacred shape of the Cross and featuring a practical metal handle for easy placement, these floats are crafted according to the centuries-old Athonite tradition. Lighting an oil candle (Kandili) in front of your holy icons is one of the oldest and most beautiful practices of Eastern Orthodox devotion, bringing a serene, prayerful atmosphere to any home icon corner.
Premium 100% Natural Cork & Aluminum Design Meticulously crafted using only 100% natural cork and premium-grade aluminum for the wick holder and handle, these floats are designed for maximum safety, stability, and durability. The natural buoyancy of high-quality cork ensures that the float stays perfectly balanced on the oil's surface, preventing any tilting and keeping the flame steady.
How to Use Your Vigil Lamp Float:
Insert a traditional wax/cotton wick into the aluminum center tube of the cross-shaped float.
Fill your Kandili glass half full of water and half full of vegetable oil (olive oil is highly recommended).
Carefully place the float on top of the oil, allow the wick to absorb the oil for a moment, and light it.
Why You’ll Love This Pack:
Sacred Cross Shape: A beautiful, meaningful design that honors the Holy Cross right inside your prayer corner.
Handy Metal Handle: Features a small built-in wire handle, making it incredibly easy to lift, adjust, or remove the float without getting oil on your fingers.
Value Pack: Includes 4 identical handmade pieces to ensure you always have a fresh replacement ready.
Always use half water (or more) and fill the rest with (Only) vegetable oil. This traditional method prevents the glass from overheating, keeps it safe, and eliminates unpleasant odors.
Never leave burning oil lamps unattended; an adult must always supervise candles and shrines.
Keep out of reach of children and away from flammable materials.
Always extinguish the flame completely before removing the float or adjusting the wick.
BEAUTIFUL! This is a lovely piece of craftsmanship. It arrived beautifully wrapped with a thank you note & another equally beautiful gift was sent, which added such a special, personal touch. The artist's attention to detail is amazing. The product is even better in person. Thank you so very much!
