The fiber art was hand-dyed, appliquéd, and quilted to form an abstract image of a \u003cem\u003ehanukiah,\u003c\/em\u003e the nine-branch candelabra used only at Hanukkah. The blue and purple fabrics represent the sky, and the greens and browns represent the earth. The bright yellows and oranges represent the Festival of Lights, as Hanukkah is also known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHanukkah means “dedication” in Hebrew. The story of Hanukkah begins with the victory of the Maccabees, an army of Jewish fighters, over the forces of the Hellenic emperor Antiochus IV, whose supporters had desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem by building an altar to the Greek god Zeus. After reclaiming the Temple and preparing to rededicate the holy space, the worshippers discovered that only one small jar of consecrated oil remained, enough to last one day. Rather than wait for more oil to arrive, they re-lit the Temple menorah, which miraculously burned for eight days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHanukkah \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003estamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp in panes of 20.
