Don't forget to put a candle in the window, to welcome Joseph and Mary. After the Irish Christmas meal, a loaf of bread filled with caraway seeds and raisins, a picture of milk and a large lit candle was placed on the table, and the door was left unlocked so that Joseph and Mary, or any wandering traveller, could avail themselves of the welcome.
