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. Candles represent the warmth and security of the Family hearth and signals loyalty to Family members and loved ones  who are not present in the home. At Christmas Time it follows the tradition of The Colonial Williamsburg Christmas.

In most cultures a Candle in the Window was used to signal a Family's loyalty to a loved one who was away traveling. It let that person know the family awaited their return and the hearth was warm and waiting for them. In Ireland during times of religious persecution, the Window Candle signaled the location of religious services.

In Colonial America a Candle in the Window was used to honor dignitaries, announce births and celebrations. Every Christmas in Williamsburg Window Candles are illuminated in each window of the homes and businesses in that community to commemorate an old fashioned Christmas. Many other cultures around the world practice the Candle in the Window Tradition.
