Friday evening we light oil candles to usher in Shabbos, after which we don't deal with fire or electricity until Shabbos is over.
Between myself and the girls we light 11 flames in total. This week one was making trouble. It didn't light so my husband put in a new wick, which sank into the oil as well. It happens on occasion. By the meal we all looked at the candles and discussed that one.
Hours later, after the rest of the flames were out and the kids were asleep there was one candle burning brightly, the candle which had been out.
one candle to turn darkness to light.
