The design of the candle is based on Isaiah 37:16: God enthroned on the cherubim. There are many winged cherubim on the candle. Psalm 93: "The Lord is king,
with majesty enrobed; the Lord has robed himself with might, he has
girded himself with power." There are four triangles with symbols of the evangelists.
The background is dark. According to Psalm 18:9-12: "He lowered the heavens and came down, a black cloud under his feet." |
