Aionios Periodeia (Journey)

In the Greek language, periodeia is the word which means tour and Dadant artists have brought into being a paschal candle to symbolize the full scope of the translation. The Periodeia Paschal candle hails the aye with a stately boldness. We are invited to contemplate a tour of the soul, culminating in the glory of the cross.

The journey lies rich before us, represented by three striking burgundy-colored blocks that depict the mortal trials in the ultimate journey of Christ. Each block is is carved in base-relief and outfitted with gold overlay. The ample cross, devised from the same symbolic wine color, rises dramatically from the candle as the focus of our tour, the reason for our journey, the emblem of our faith, in which all our trials are triumphant.
