  • According to a learned Orthodox Bishop and scholar: "When the chandeliers or choros and the lampades on the Templon and various iconostasia (Icon stands) are swung in Liturgy, it is to denote the joy of creation, as evidenced by the hymns most typically chanted during this action. (This is an especially poignant point when one realizes that the polyelaios,* under the Pantokrator, which is most often swung, is in that space representing the "known universe")."
