Описание к видео "The Eighth Candle" by Steve Reisteter

Subtitled "Prayer and Dance for Hanukkah", this composition celebrates the Jewish festival commemorating the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 165 BC. A revolt by a small group of Maccabees defeated the much larger force of Syrian-Greek oppressors who had defiled the temple.
The menorah was required to burn within the temple at all times, but the
Maccabees only found one day’s worth of uncontaminated olive oil. Miraculously,
the oil burned for eight days, allowing time to find a fresh supply. In
modern times, candles are ceremoniously lit over eight days.
