Candles in the Light or in the Dark?
Question
Is it preferable to light the candles specifically in a dark room, especially when they are lit in the window? If there is light from the room, it is less noticeable from the street that there are candles, and there is less publicizing of the miracle.
Answer
Correct. It is preferable.
