light bearer
One holding illumination
Light bearer names someone or something that carries light, literally or figuratively.
The term appears in religious and mythological contexts—Lucifer, before his fall, was the light bearer, his name meaning exactly that in Latin.
Prometheus bearing fire to humanity is another light bearer.
The phrase can describe anyone who brings illumination, knowledge, or enlightenment: She was a light bearer in an age of ignorance.
