Hanukkah rejoices in miracles. Leading was the 2^nd century BCE success of Jewish fighters Maccabean and his brothers against the mighty Syrian-Greek king and its army. Next, upon the priests’ return to the Temple to light the Menorah.

Menorah is the oldest and victory symbol of the Jewish religion -it is a light stand with the seven-branched candelabrum. According to the modern (word), Hebrew describes the menorah, a candelabrum with nine branches, and is used for the fulfillment of the Festival of Lights.

During the Hanukkah festival, the Jews all over the world light the Menorah. One branch is set alight on the first night, and alternatively, each candle is added every night until the eighth, when the menorah matures wholly lit. The ninth branch is called Shamash; it is placed in the center which is used to light all the other candles.
