Kandilakia are small shrines made of concrete, stone, metal or wood and often take the shape of a little church. They hold Orthodox Christian icons, in addition to oil lamps. Sometimes they will even have a small hand censer for the burning of incense. In more mountainous areas of Greece, kandilakia may be carved into the side of cliffs rather than placed as a freestanding shrine. We have recently uploaded photo's of our roundtrip in Greece., that we have made in 2022. All credits to Yvonne!
