Variations on the Hanukkah tradition from Susannah Seton’s Simple Pleasures for the Holidays: Candle Symbolism
The “Festival Lights” usually features white candles, but if you’re not completely traditional, you might consider other colors, depending on what meaning you want to convey:
- White: spiritual truth and household purification
- Green: healing, prosperity, and luck
- Red: physical health and vigor
- Yellow: charm and confidence
