Lamps of the Holy House

Rows of small votive lamps stand on shelves on both the inside and outside walls of the Holy House. Each lamp bears a shield asking for the prayers of Our Lady and pilgrims for a particular intention. There is currently a short waiting list (1 - 2 months) for these lamps. Minimum annual donation - £40.

Hanging Lamps within the Holy House

The 15 hanging lamps within the Holy House each bear an intercession. A plaque on the outside wall of the Holy House bears the dedications.  Minimum annual donation - £250.

Lamps of the Chapels and Shrines

The majority of the side chapels within the Shrine Church contain hanging lamps. Small votive lamps burn by individual shrines (images.) There are also hanging lamps on the nave pillars above the two ikons. These lamps all bear an intercession. Dedications for these lamps and candles are displayed on a plaque on the outside wall of the Holy House. Minimum annual donation - from £150 - £200 depending on location and daily/weekly change.

Lamps within the Sepulchre

Two candles burn perpetually within the Sepulchre in the Shrine gardens. A nearby plaque bears the dedications. Minimum annual donation - £75.

Lamps within the Barn

There are two perpetual candles in the Barn - a restored stone barn close to the refectory, now used as a space for quiet, meditation and services such as Night Prayer. One candle burns by the great ikon and the other by an image of Our Lady of Walsingham. A nearby plaque bears the dedications. Minimum annual donation - £100.
