the innkeeper's lamp
why did he put it in the l'armoire and shut the doors?
shareIt is likely a reference to the passage in the Bible where Jesus says:
(Matthew 5:14-15) "You are the world's light; it is impossible to hide a town built on top of a hill. Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bucket. They put it on a lampstand, and it gives light for everybody in the house."
