What is the name of candles in Irish homes on Christmas Eve?
There isn't a "name" for the candles. It's a Christmas tradition where the placing of a lighted candle in the window of a house on Christmas eve. It has a number of purposes but primarily it was a symbol of welcome to Mary and Joseph as they travelled looking for shelter. The candle also indicated a safe place for priests to perform mass as, during Penal Times this was not allowed. A further element of the tradition is that the candle should be lit by the youngest member of the household and only be extinguished by a girl bearing the name 'Mary'. Maybe that's where the "name" of the candle is in question......
