You know I had to look that up.just think of your bishop's trikiri
I've seen them before, but actually today will be the first time I meet our bishop (God willing) and tomorrow we have a hierarchical Divine Liturgy.
Unfortunately I'm going to be in the choir loft (again God willing) ... so I'll have a good view but from far away.
But that's what I was imagining - at least I mean three candles joined to make one flame. Then I got to thinking that it COULD lead to a misunderstanding of God's Essence as being a composite thing, and gives no indication of the Father as the ultimate source.
But as you say, no earthly analogy is perfect. I just think this one is the best I've seen, and with added info to stave off misunderstanding it could help.
