lamps. These were probably used in Christian worship from the first, as it usually took place at night. The ceremonial lighting of the evening lamp that accompanied the singing of the ‘
Phos Hilaron’ is attested by St
Basil. From at least the 6th cent. it was customary to burn lights—lamps and later
candles—before shrines and relics (and in the E. before
icons). The burning of a perpetual light before the reserved Sacrament came into general use in the W. in the 13th cent., but was not obligatory before the 16th.
