The temple is a place of spiritual peace for every Christian, always filled with light and warmth. Here, you breathe differently, feel differently, and here you want to believe in a miracle, in God, in higher powers you can rely on and turn to in any life situation. The temple is a place of power, where every detail of the interior is symbolic and significant. The main church chandelier in the temple is especially symbolic.
The Panikadilo is the main lighting fixture in the temple; a chandelier placed in the center and suspended directly under the dome. Visually, this chandelier resembles a large candelabrum with numerous candles or lamps, often arranged in several tiers on the rim, also known as the choros. The Panikadilo is lit during major holidays and celebrations, symbolizing Divine light and a portal to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Light in Christianity holds deep philosophical meaning, making lighting in the temple an essential element of the interior. A lit candle symbolizes faith: as long as the candle burns, hope for the better remains, and faith in a bright future endures.
In our catalog, you will find Panikadilos ranging from one to five tiers, made of copper and brass with gilding and enameling. We also offer dome fixtures for the choros and Panikadilo.
If you’re interested in Panikadilo restoration, we are happy to assist with that as well. Our craftsmen can restore brass elements, protective coatings, and replace wires and sockets
