Question

It is clear that for yom tov sheni (falling on a weeknite), and when yom tov falls on motzaei shabbat that we do not light yom tov candles, nor is the blessing recited. This year the 2nd nite of shavuot falls on erev shabbat. since lights are already on from before yom tov (thursday evening), do we light shabbat candles as usual? Thank you.

Shavuot is Fri & Sat. & no, you don't light for Sat. You only light Thursday before Shekiah (sunset) for Thurs night/Fri. AA
