Lux in Tenebris, in Latin, meaning "Light in Darkness". "Lux in Tenebris" was also the national motto for the country that was once 'Nyasaland' [that country is now known as 'Malawi']
The phrase belongs to the Latin translation of the Gospel of John: "et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt", meaning "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it". (Fifth verse of Chapter I)[1]
It is also the title of a short one-act farce, written in prose, by the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht. It is thought that he wrote it in 1919, under the influence of "that great Munich clown Karl Valentin".[2]
