The tradition of putting candles in the windows comes from Ireland. When Christianity was suppressed in Ireland, the priest had to travel secretly, through the night, to visit his parishioners.

When the English authorities questioned the people, they explained that the candles were for Mary and Joseph. Select this link to view our Christmas Stocking Holders.
