Festival of Lights begins Tuesday
12/16/2011
The eight-day Jewish celebration of Hanukkah — The Festival of Lights — begins Tuesday, and special celebrations are planned around St. Johns County.
The festival is observed by the lighting one light each night on a nine-branched Menorah. The typical Menorah consists of eight branches with an additional raised branch. The extra light, according to tradition, is called a shamash and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the shamash is to have a light available for use, as using the Hanukkah lights themselves is forbidden.
