The Hanukkah stamp was also the start of the USPS’s new Holiday Celebrations Series, which sought to honor a different cultural or ethnic holiday every year. The second stamp in the series came exactly a year after the first. It honored Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday based on the traditional African harvest festival. The name for the seven-day festival means “first fruits” in Swahili.
The series continues to commemorate different cultural or religious holidays each year such as Eid, Cinco de Mayo, and others.

Hanukkah or the Jewish Festival of Lights, as it is sometimes called, begins on the 25th of the Hebrew month Kislev and lasts for eight days. On the first evening, just after dark, one candle is lit on the menorah, a special eight-branched candelabrum. Each night, another candle is lit until on the last night there are eight candles burning.
