Make, Fill, and Light an Oil Lamp

Make with clay with the video tutorial linked or buy a clay 1st-century shaped lamp online. Read the parable of the 10 Virgins (Matt. 25:1-13 & more mentioned in D&C 45:56-59). Fill the lamp with oil you have at home, add a wick of fabric and light to watch it glow and last for hours.
