44 candles total. Two are lit the first night (1 + the helper candle). Three on the second night (2 + the helper). And so on.

After eight nights:

2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 44

That is why Hanukkah candles come 44 to a box.

How many candles have been used on the last night of Hanukkah?

None. Here's why: 1. Jews do not celebrate Christmas; and Channukah is not the same as Christmas. 2. The channukiah (Channukah-menorah) holds a total of 9 candles so on the last night all 9 are lit. 8 candles represent the miracle that Channukah celebrates and the 9th one, called the shamesh, is used to light the other candles.


How do Jews worship on Hanukkah?

We have an 8-night celebration and eat traditional foods called potato latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). Each night we light a candle on our channukiahs (Hanukkah-menorahs) until there are a total of 9 candles on the final night. Some families (mainly in North America) give one present for each of the eight nights and usually play a game of dreidle (a dreidle is like a spinning top with Hebrew letters on the side). There are also special blessings, prayers and Torah-readings during Hanukkah.
