One small flame. A whole Reformation.
These Reformed Christian vinyl decals from Calvinist Apparel carry the Reformation motto Post Tenebras Lux, “After Darkness, Light.”
After darkness, light.
Post Tenebras Lux became one of the defining mottos of the Reformation, closely tied to Reformed Geneva. It sums up the recovery of the gospel after a long season of spiritual darkness, and it speaks just as well to anyone who has come through a dark season of their own. This decal puts that hope wherever you stick it: bold, simple, and impossible to miss.

A motto with history
The phrase echoes the Latin Bible’s rendering of Job 17:12 and was adopted as a Reformation-era motto in Geneva. It is still carved into Geneva’s Reformation Wall and used across the Reformed world. Putting it on a laptop, water bottle, or notebook says something about where you stand, and it usually starts a good conversation.
