The chandelier is a exquisite work of silver wrought with hammer, molten, carved and engraved. It was offered to the Cave of the Apocalypse by Ioakeim Simonos, former Abbot of the Monastery, as is attested by its dedicatory inscription, and bears decorative themes inspired by the Revelation. The snakes and dragons that support the candlesticks have an apotropaic character, as symbols to ward off evil. The chandelier was used as the central chandelier of the Katholikon during Easter.
