Hanukkah, a word which means dedication, is called the Festival of Lights and celebrates the victory of Judah Maccabee. The miracle was that after cleansing the temple of idols, there was only one cruse of consecrated olive oil for the Eternal Light in the temple. This one day's supply miraculously burned for the eight days and nights needed to get more consecrated oil. Jews all over the world will light one candle on the first day of Hanukkah, from the center candle, and one more each evening, until on the eighth night all are burning on the eight branched Menorah.
