’It wasn’t the Jews that kept Shabbat, it was Shabbat that kept the Jews’ says the old Jewish saying. According to the Jewish calendar, Shabbat starts Friday evening, when we can see the first star, and it lasts until the next evening. Friday night the matron opens the Shabbat with lighting a candle, the householder greats it with a kiddush. It is typical to light two candles on Friday. The shape of the candlesticks can be different, typically they don’t differ from the average candlesticks, maybe we can spot an inscription which refers to the ritual usage.
