a taper used in the Roman Catholic Church at the time of Easter. It is lighted from the holy fire, and receives its benediction by the priest's putting five grains of incense in the form of a cross into the taper. This blessed taper must remain on the Gospel-side of the altar from Easter-eve to Ascension-day. (See LYCHNOSCOPE).
