How many candles are litten on Shabbat?
« on: November 05, 2007, 07:33:00 PM »
Tradition is at least two, and then some people add one for each child. Anyone have any other interesting customs or is anyone aware of where these customs originated?

Lighting for each child originated (and practiced) by the Askenazim.

My Iraqi grandmother lights three every Shabbat, Yom Tov, and Rosh Chodesh.
That's interesting, Do you know why she lights 3?
