Dr. Pierre Dozous attempted to use one of these objects to test whether Bernadette Soubirous' visions were miraculous. These objects are used to bless Catholics' throats on the Feast of Saint Blaise. In Eastern Orthodoxy, three of them are in a trikirion, while in Judaism, a yahrzeit one of these is used to commemorate the dead. These objects provide the name for the February 2nd Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, and four of them symbolize the four weeks of Advent in an Advent wreath. One inscribed with an alpha and omega is used during the Easter Vigil and called the "Paschal" one. Jewish law mandates that two of them, representing shamor and zakhor, be used eighteen minutes before sunset on Friday to usher in Shabbat; on a different holiday, one of them is called the shamash, or "helper." FTP, name these objects, eight of which represent the eight days of Hannukah.
