In the ancient Temple, there was an eternal light (in the form of a 7-branched menorah) in front of the Holy of Holies. The Torah merely commands, in Exodus 25:31-40, that it be there without really explaining why, but in effect, it became a symbol of God's presence. In synagogues, in memory of this, an eternal light is traditionally placed in front of or above the ark, the cabinet in the synagogue holding the Torah scrolls.
