The Festival of Lights is also known as Hanukkah, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. "There was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, which was the length of time it took to press, prepare and consecrate fresh olive oil." for more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah
