Lamps, trimmed and burning:
This is what the acolyte sitting in front of the altar sees when they are facing forward. (Well, directly across from them sits the subdeacon, so this is what they see if they look up while looking forward.) Seven lamps hang in front of the altar, trimmed and burning. It has been such a blessing to be an altar server at my church — my church here is definitely one of my favourite things.
