Question
When the holiday falls on Sunday, how should one prepare with fire and candles on Friday evening?
Answer
One should light a 48-hour candle on Friday from which fire can be transferred on Yom Tov. Ideally, one should ensure there is a small torch candle for the blessing of 'Borei Me'orei Ha'esh' at the end of Shabbat [the night of the holiday], but it should be noted that on the holiday, the Havdalah candle cannot be extinguished. [A small part of the large Havdalah candle used throughout the year can be cut off].
