Why “Lychnos”
A lamp, and stillness
Lychnos (λύχνος) is Greek for lamp, the word Psalm 119:105 uses for Scripture itself: something carried, lit and followed rather than merely read. It sits alongside the name of our first app, Hesychia, Greek for stillness and watchfulness: one word for the discipline, one for what lights the way through it.
