IT'S THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS - DAY 3

Survey: Real Candles Light The Way For Chanukah

Tonight is the third night of Chanukah, also known as the Festival of Lights. The holiday recalls the miracle that occurred during the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple, when there was only enough oil to last for one day, yet it continued burning for eight days.

Jewish people around the world are marking the event with the lighting of the menorah, and most people prefer real candles for their eight-day celebration.

According to an informal survey at Yahoo.com, 50-percent of respondents say they use real candles instead of an electric menorah for the event.
