The first candle was lit by Israel's Ambassador to Croatia Ilan Mor and a prayer was said by Rabbi Pinchas Zaklos.
The Hanukkah lights on a nine-branched menorah, or 'Hanukkah candelabrum', are lit every night of Hanukkah (Chanukah).
Hanukkah is observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, and may occur from late November to late December according to the Gregorian calendar.
