Miraculously the oil lasted the entire eight days. Every year they celebrate that victory and that miracle at Hannakuh. It is a miracle of redemption. It is part of an on-going process. God calls mankind.
Mankind responds in faith.
The results are overwhelming. Without the power of God it would not happen. If we failed to respond even the overwhelming power of God would be thwarted. Today the feast is celebrated with the giving of gifts. Our church display commemorates this victory with the eight candles, some oil, and a wrapped gift.
