More about
the Saint Nektarios Gift Set: Vigil Lamp Oil, Icon & Prayer Rope

The Saint Nektarios Gift Set brings together three devotional items from the Monastery of St. Nektarios in Aegina, Greece, into one thoughtful package for Orthodox Christians who venerate this beloved wonderworker and healer.

At the heart of the set is a small vessel of oil taken from the vigil lamp that burns at St. Nektarios's shrine in Aegina. Oil from a saint's vigil lamp is traditionally used by the faithful for anointing, for prayer at home, and as a tangible blessing connected to the saint's intercession.

The set also includes a small wood icon of St. Nektarios measuring 1-1/2" by 2", sized to carry in a pocket, keep in a Bible or prayer book, tuck into a travel bag, or place on a personal icon corner or bedside table.

Completing the set is a black handmade prayer rope bracelet for use with the Jesus Prayer. The bracelet may arrive featuring a medallion with an image of St. Nektarios, printed with ICXC, or made with a silver cross — each variation handmade in the Orthodox tradition.

This gift set is a meaningful choice for a baptism, nameday, feast day (November 9), get-well gift, or any occasion when you want to share the prayers and blessing of St. Nektarios of Aegina with a loved one. It is also a fitting keepsake for anyone beginning a deeper devotion to this saint.
