In Morocco, it was customary to light Shabbat and holiday candles at home using a ritual lamp known as a "kandil." After a woman's death, on the first anniversary of her passing, the lamps would be donated to the synagogue with an engraved dedication bearing the woman's name. Maintenance of the candles and wicks was the responsibility of the family.
