An older image, reprocessed today, of a window in a house in rural Ireland where it is still the custom to place lighted candles in the window at Christmas time to indicate hospitality to strangers who may be seeking shelter.
The theme of the candle in the window was taken up by our first woman president, Mary Robinson, when she placed a light in one of the windows of the President's Residence to assure those scattered to the four corners of the earth by the necessity of emigration that there would be a welcome for them in their homeland.
