FESTIVAL OF DEDICATION
Hanukkah: an eight-day devotional journey through light, faith and dedication
A Christian devotional series drawn from the original Daily Prophetic Hanukkah recordings, moving from dedication and courage through provision, joy and the everlasting light.
EIGHT NIGHTS OF LIGHT
Scroll through the journey and watch the menorah fill with light
The taller central shamash remains lit throughout the visual journey. On Day 1 there is one additional festival light, then another is added each day until all eight festival lights are burning on Day 8.
As you scroll, the growing light mirrors the devotional journey from dedication and faith through provision, joy and the eternal light. Each day includes a reflection, the original video transcript and a prayer or practical response.

A feast Jesus knew
The Gospel of John records Jesus in Jerusalem during the Feast of Dedication. That gives Christians a direct biblical point of contact with Hanukkah, while still calling for care not to erase its Jewish history or turn every tradition into a Christian symbol.
