Description

Authentic Lamps from the Holy Land - Light of Peace. Olive branches call for peace and harmony. The olive tree has a special place in scripture, and the olive branch was a beloved symbol of peace in ancient times. On this lamp its grace survives to soothe the soul. In a world of everyday strife, let peace into your heart.

Light of Peace is an actual replica of a 1st/2nd Century A.D. oil lamp. The artisans of the Holy Land have created this clay replica lovingly by hand, molding, firing and glazing, using the same honored techniques as the ancient original.

About The Light of Life Collection
For thousands of years, fired clay oil lamps were used primarily for lighting homes and places of worship. Their magical illumination symbolized life, the human soul and man’s connection to the sacred. A peaceful reminder of the beauty in everyday things.

Beautiful smaller (decoration) lamps!
Review by chase

I purchased the "peace", "faith", and "charity" lamps. These lamps are realistic clay made lamps with the word "replica" stamped into the bottom of each. Keep in mind that real ancient lamps were much smaller than what we expect and see in movies. In that time people expected less light, and had less money to spend on lamp oil. There is a card inside that says these are just for decoration only. Box does not contain any wicks or oil. The image on the box shows the lamp lit however. I would guess that they are around 6 inches diameter (at the longest point) and 3 or 4 inches tall. The box (I didn't get the wooden display box) is very well padded. I'm happy with the look of the lamps. They are very small and interesting looking. I also plan to use them with oil despite the warnings. Just keep in mind that they will "sweat" the oil out because of the method of firing the pottery, this is normal. They will get goop where ever you sit them, and they should be set on an easily cleaned non flammable surface. I only wish that Franklin mint had given dimensions, caution information, and package contents in the description. Order status also said "Processing" until the day the lamps arrived so I had to call for the status. Other than that, the lamps are of very high quality, well packaged, decent shipping time, good phone customer support, very fair price and I'm happy with my purchase!
