No it is a Irish Catholic Tradition. When the Irish were being persecuted for their Catholic beliefs, they placed candles in the windows to notify traveling priests that this was a safe house to perform Christmas mass.
Candle in the Window was created in 1990.
The tradition of placing a candle in the window goes back to the Colonial times in the United States and back much further in time for other cultures. It is a tradition practiced throughout the year. It symbolizes the warmth and security of the family hearth and signals loyalty to family members and loved ones who are not present in the home.
A Yahrzeit Candle is a special memorial candle. Special candles that burn for 24 hours are used.
Jewish tradition was preserved by the Jewish Prophets, Sages, Torah-commentators and codifiers. Jewish tradition is preserved by learning and keeping the Torah.
It's actually spelled yahrzeit candle. It is a candle lit in memory of the dead in the Jewish religion.
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......
