During Hanukkah, wax items primarily refer to the candles used in the menorah. Each night, a candle is lit to commemorate the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days. The menorah holds nine candles: eight for each night of Hanukkah and one, the shamash, used to light the others. These candles are often colorful and can be made from various types of wax, symbolizing the joy and light of the holiday.
