Are the candles on the Hanukkah Menorah supposed to be a certain color?

Dec 07, 2008 by Jamie | Posted in Hanukkah

I am doing a project on Chanukah for the school and my teacher suggested that there are certain colors that are supposed to be used, but I can not find anything on internet ...


You can use any colors you want, the most comprehensive color better.

Why is it pictures of Christmas are represented by Santa, when Hanukkah is the menorah? Where did nativity go?

Dec 08, 2008 by laurie67 | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

Why is the nativity scene rarely used as the picture to represent Christmas, especially when all the December holidays are represented by pictures? The Menorah represents the miracle of light, Christmas the miracle of life. Santa is the commercial representation, the secular version. As a Christian, it gets to me that there appears to be unequal treatment of the religious holidays. Christmas continues to become more and more secular, like showing the nativity scene is obscene.

Anyone else see this? Why?


Christmas represents the miracle of life, and it's very obvious in the tree, the mistletoe and holly etc. Keep in mind that it was a festival of life and light before Christianity came along.

Reminders of Christmas

The ships are doing a great job during the holidays and is a great way to find a family that I did, and other friends.

Royal Caribbean also will celebrate the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah theme offering festivities throughout the stay. A rabbi will be on board any vessel to conduct services and preside over a ceremony of lighting the menorah. In the main dining room, guests can enjoy sumptuous dining options to the cruise line or request a kosher meal, an option that Royal Caribbean offers on each sail all year.On December 12, 2009 sailing of Independence of the Seas from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, combine the Jewish holiday with an eight-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard a cruise ship Freedom-class.

Royal Caribbean will be the bridge of his ship with branches of holly and other seasonal decorations throughout the month of December to announce the joyous celebration. Screenings of classic films, guests and crew singing, cookie decorating, festive music and readings of holiday stories will receive special visitors in the Christmas spirit in a festive family cruise.A Catholic priest will also be on board to direct the holiday observances.

You can check the space for yourself royalcaribbean.com. Communication, the newest ship, the higher the price. Look in the cruises departing from ports other than the South Florida over the holidays. It's all part of moving the willingness of consumers to book near the cruise date.

That's all for now.
