The oil symbolizes that which keeps true Christians shining as illuminators, namely, the inspired Word of God, on which they keep a tight grip, together with the holy spirit, which helps in understanding that Word.
Õli kujutab seda, mis hoiab kristlast lambina valgustamas, nimelt Jumala inspireeritud Sõna, millest nad kõvasti kinni hoiavad, ja püha vaimu, mis aitab Sõna mõista.
