Hannukah Began on

Sunday Evening

Hannukah is also known as the Festival of Lights. It is a celebration of freedom and rededication.

The candle in the middle lights the candles each of the eight nights of Hannukah. The number of candles increase by one each night until there are eight. The candles are placed in the menorah from right to left. And, then lit left to right.

Have fun creating your menorah from upcycled materials.
