Chanukiah - Hanukkah Menorah
There are many beliefs in how this festival came to be, however, one of the more well-known origin stories takes place in Jerusalem. Legends state that after the Greek-Syrian oppressors destroyed the Jewish Holy Temple and there was not enough pure oil remaining once they reclaimed the temple in the Maccabean Revolt. During this time worshiper’s one-day supply of oil lasted them eight days and nights and hence Chanukah was established.
The tradition of Hanukkah involves lighting a new branch of each night, hence at the end of the 8 days, there would 8 candles light up. The last holder and ninth candle is used to light all the other candles or can also be used as an extra light. The ninth candle is called the Shamash. It is necessary for the ninth candle to be placed either higher or lower. There are two options on how they can be arranged; they can be placed in a straight line or in a curve.
