Hanukkah

It is a Jewish celebration of 8 days.
In Ebreo the word means dedication.
It originated in the century II a.c., when in Palestine, under the Syrian reign. It was to impose political and religious conformity, ending up violating the Temple from Jerusalem when dedicating it to the god Zeus.
This received as answer the Jewish resistance that soon it became armed rebellion and it was able to prevail. When cleaning the Temple it was only enough it oils sacred to maintain the eternal flame lit by one day, but for a miracle this lasted eight days.

For that reason every day of the celebration one lights more than the eight candles of the temple, and it calls himself Festival of the Luz.

Today in day Hanukkah picks up some of the popular elements of the celebration of the Christmas. Gifts are made, the house is decorated, and they get ready festival foods.
