The practice of maintaining a light in churches during the early Middle Ages is explored, focusing on its origins, the tangible impacts it had on religious and community life, and the reasons for its decline by the end of the Middle Ages. The investigation delves into both the cultural significance and the practical implications of this ritual, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of medieval religious practices.
