What is the Festival of Lights of the Catholic religion?

It would be quite easy to conclude from all the decorative lights that are put on Christmas trees, houses, and stores, that there is a logical reason for Christmas to be called the Festival of Lights, but it isn't. Christmas falls at approximately the same time as the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, which is the actual Festival of Lights, because the central symbol of Hanukkah is a candle holder (or candelabrum) with eight branches on the sides and one central candle holder. Candles are essential to this holiday (which commemorates a miraculous event in which an oil lamp burned for 8 days despite having an insufficient amount of oil).

What does the menorah symbolize?

The menorah is a religious symbol in Judaism. The original 7-branch menorah was placed in the Temple and its flames burned at night (Leviticus ch.24). In modern synagogues, a single flame (usually electric) represents this ancient mitzvah. It symbolizes G-d's eternal presence among the people. Other information: The Hanukkah-menorah (also called a Hanukkiyah) is an eight-branched candle holder used on the 8 days of Hanukkah. Eight of the flames symbolize the eight days of the miracle, while a ninth candle is next to them and is used to light the others.


How do the Jewish treat the menorah?

The menorah is a significant symbol in Judaism, particularly during the festival of Hanukkah. It is an eight-branched candelabrum, with an additional holder for the shamash (the helper candle used to light the others). During Hanukkah, Jews light one candle on the first night and add an additional candle each subsequent night, reciting blessings and prayers. The menorah is often displayed prominently in homes and public spaces to celebrate the miracle of the oil and the rededication of the Second Temple.
