- Title

- Abstract
In Judaism, the sun, moon and stars are observed to determine the date of the seasons and festivals or devotional times. In the Hebrew calendar, the beginning of a new day is marked at sunset and when the first stars of the night appear. Among the objects that mark dates expressing the joy of memorable times are the Hanukkah candlesticks, objects of devotion and piety, indispensable for the Festival of Lights and commemorating the rededication of the second Temple in Jerusalem. In this study we present several devotional candelabra and identify their relationship to the Hebrew ritual and present them as Jewish ex-votos.
