About the Christmas Vigil Candle Tradition

In the Parable of the ten virgins, Jesus tells his disciples that they need to be ready: “Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

One symbol of this vigilance is to leave a candle in the window on Christmas Eve. This tradition has roots in the Irish Catholic persecution – during this time, Irish Catholics would place a lit candle in the window to signify their home was safe and to invite a visiting priest to say Christmas Mass. If questioned, a deeper symbolism was given as the reason: The candle remains lit in the window to welcome the Holy Family - signifying that there is “room in the inn.”

This beautiful tradition is a great way to “stand ready” and represents that the Holy Family is welcome in our home.
