Özet:

 There have been different historical processes in the use of lighting. It started with a fire in the Paleolithic Period and continued until the Modern Age with lighting elements such as torches, candles, and kerosene. The differences in this process are related to the change in sociological needs and often stem from the form. Especially in the lighting of religious buildings, sociological needs, symbolic narratives, and liturgy were the main elements of differences until the modern age. This research investigates the various forms that lighting elements have taken throughout history, based on different functions, from the Middle Ages to the present. These forms are examined in terms of their liturgical meanings based on their intended use, as well as their requirement for effective symbolic expression in lighting elements as part of the mission they undertake in religious buildings.

 Aydınlatmanın kullanımında farklı tarihsel süreçler yaşanmıştır. Paleolitik Dönemde ateş ile başlamış olan aydınlatma kullanımı, meşale, mum, gazyağı gibi aydınlatma elemanları ile Modern Çağa kadar devam etmiştir. Bu süreçte var olan farklılıklar sosyolojik ihtiyaçların değişimi ile ilgili olup genellikle biçimden kaynaklanmaktadır. Özellikle dini yapıların aydınlatılmasında sosyolojik ihtiyaçlar, sembolik anlatılar ve liturji Modern Çağa kadar farklılıkların ana unsurları olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Ortaçağdan günümüze kadar olan süreçte işleve bağlı olarak çeşitlilik gösteren aydınlatma elemanlarının dini yapılarda yapının amacına göre üstlendiği misyon ve bu misyonun bir gereği olarak aydınlatma elemanında sembolik anlatımın etkili olabilmesi için aldığı şekiller ve bu şekillerin kullanıma bağlı olarak yüklendiği litürjik anlamlar incelenmiştir.
