hanukkah

The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is celebrated in memory of the reclaiming of their holy temple from the ancient Greeks in 164. It is said that when the temple was reclaimed, there was only enough oil in the lamp to last for one day, yet it miraculously burned for eight days. This is why Jews light a candle in the menorah on each of the eight days of the festival.
