Dicerion

/daɪˈsɪriən/ noun

Definition

In Byzantine religious art and architecture, a ceremonial double-branched candlestick or icon stand used in Orthodox Christian liturgy.

Etymology

From Greek 'di-' (two) + 'kerion' (candle/wax taper). This term emerged in medieval Byzantine Christian contexts to describe liturgical objects with two branches.

Kelly Says

Byzantine emperors and bishops used dicerion candlesticks as symbols of divine dual nature and authority, and the term still appears in Orthodox Christian ceremonies today as a connection to thousand-year-old traditions.
