Aplices are metal lamps that are placed on both interior and exterior walls. The first silver aplices appeared in the 17th century, while porcelain and pseudo-gold have been used since the 18th century. In their early days, they held candles or torches and their light was intensified by a reflecting back surface.
Aplices are widely used by the Orthodox Church for the decoration and lighting of the interior of the Holy Temples.
Our catalog includes aplices made of brass and aluminum with one or more lights. They are gilded and made with Christian symbols such as the Cross and the double-headed eagle or with images of Saints.

"...I received the beautiful Icon of Our Lord and want to thank you very much for your kindness. This is a most beautiful icon and moves those who contemplate it to lift their hearts in prayer. May god bless you for the good work you do for the Church in bringing others these windows to heaven. ..."
