In the background are two tall Greek columns on either side of the center scene with a sandy foreground. The Greek columns and all the features of the main scene are a representation of the miracle that took place on Hanukkah; During the times of the second temple Israel was under Greek rule, the Greeks had defiled the temple and took from it all the holy vessels used in the daily rituals of the temple. The Maccabeans rose up and defeated the Greeks and returned the temple and all its vessels to their original intended holy purposes.
