Definition
A liturgical object in Eastern Orthodox churches consisting of two candlesticks held together, symbolizing Christ's dual nature (divine and human).
Etymology
From Greek 'dikeros' (double-horned or two-pointed) + the suffix '-ion'. The term refers to the physical form of the candlestick pair and emerged in Byzantine ecclesiastical tradition.
Kelly Says
The dikerion and its three-candled counterpart (trikerion) are profound theological statements in physical form—priests literally hold up a symbol of Christ's dual nature when they bless the congregation. It's theology you can touch!
