Detailed explanation-1: -As the story goes, a small quantity of oil to light the Temple’s menorah miraculously lasted eight days.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish festival of lights is all about olive oil. According to tradition, during the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean revolt, a small quantity of oil used to light the Temple’s menorah somehow miraculously burned for eight days.
Detailed explanation-3: -Miraculously, the one cruse of oil lasted eight nights.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days every year. Normally it occurs between late November and December, although the exact dates change every year.

Detailed explanation-5: -In order to rededicate the temple, the Maccabees had to light a menorah that would burn within the temple at all times. However, they only had enough pure olive oil to last for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, leaving time to find a fresh supply of oil.
