Lamp

From Rationale Divinorum Officiorum: 

"The lamp, according to the word of the Lord, is a good intention... We should not put a lamp under a bushel but on top of a candlestick, because if we have a good intention we should not hide it, but put our good work in the light of day and show its example for others to see."[1]

This Christian reading of a lamp manifests clearly in the third image: the lamp with a cruciform handle.
