The sevenfold candles are a popular (read, all-pervasive), aspect of the Swedish Christmas. Every home has at least one set of electric ones arranged in a triangle in a window, and the local hospital has a special store room set aside for its collection of several thousand. I don't know how the tradition started. My guess is that it has something to do with The Lamentations of Jeramiah transplanted from Holy Week.
