When should I light a yahrtzeit candle on Shavuot?
Answer:
The Yahrtzeit candle is lit on the second day of Shavuot.
On Yom Tov we may only light fire from a pre existing fire. Therefore, when lighting a Yahrtzeit candle on Yom Tov, it must be lit from a pre existing flame.
Ed. note: Please also read "When is Yizkor recited?" and also "When is a Yahrtzeit (memorial) candle lit?"
