  abstract: This volume illustrates lamps from the Byzantine period excavated in the Holy Land and demonstrates the extent of their development since the first enclosing/capturing of light (fire) within a portable man-made vessel. Lamps, which held important material and religious functions during daily life and the afterlife, played a large role in conveying art and cultural and political messages through the patterns chosen to decorate them. These cultural, or even more their religious affinities, were chosen to be delivered on lamps (not on other vessels) more than ever during the Byzantine period. These small portable objects were used to 'promote' beliefs like the 'press' of today. Each cultural group marked the artifacts/ lamps with its symbols, proverbs from the Old and New Testaments and this process throws light on the deep rivalry between them in this corner of the ancient world.
