In 2019, the festival occurs from nightfall on December 22 until nightfall on December 30.
Key Points:
- In 2019, the festival occurs from nightfall on December 22 until nightfall on December 30.
- Canada Post is issuing this stamp today, well in advance of the celebration, so that Canadians can make their Hanukkah cards and other mail more festive.
- Designed by Lionel Gadoury of Context Creative, this stamp honouring the Jewish Festival of Lights explores the relationship between light and dark.
- The seven-branched Temple menorah was required to stay lit at all times; however, after the battle, there was enough sanctified oil to last only one day.
