Dating back hundreds of years, the Irish have a tradition to light a candle and place it in the window on Christmas Eve, December 24, of each year. Different stories and legends surround this Catholic religious tradition which has spread to other countries by Irish immigrants. This custom continues as part of Irish culture in the modern day, to celebrate the holiday.
According to one belief, the candle long served as a symbol of welcome to Mary and Joseph who sought shelter in vain on that first Christmas Eve. The ceremony of lighting the candle is one of simple ancient rituals during which prayers are said for the departed
Germans decorate their homes for Christmas with traditional ornaments like glass baubles, wooden ornaments, and nutcrackers. They also display advent wreaths and calendars, as well as light candles on a Christmas pyramid or tree. Many German homes also feature handcrafted items like nativity scenes and figurines.
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......

No Orthodox or conservative Jews should put 13 candles in their window. The most candles they will put in the window is 11: Eight for chanukkah, 1 shamash and 2 shabbat candles. But Shabbat candles are not normally placed in windows. In some orthodox homes young girls light candles to copy their mothers (who are also lighting candles). This might explain why there could be 13 or more; but for Jewish purposes only 11 are necessary. The rest are extra.
The main Christmas holiday decoration in most Mexican homes is the Christmas tree. Poinsettias are also used on most homes.
Advent is a big part of Christmas celebrations in Germany. Different types of Advent calendars are used in German homes in addition to traditional Advent calendars. Some are wreaths made of Fir branches with 24 decorated boxes or bags with small presents inside hanging from the wreath. Others are called 'Advent Kranz' and is a ring of fir branches that has four candles on it. One candle is lit at the beginning at each week of Advent. Christmas trees are important in Germany. The tree is traditionally brought into the house on Christmas Eve. Wooden frames cover with colored plastic sheets with electric candles inside are sometimes put in windows to make the house look pretty from the outside.
