Dear Rosinante,
Oh no, that's a Hanukkah tradition. The four marked sides are an acronym for "a miracle happened here." It was invented for children to play with to remember Hanukkah during a time when celebrating more openly would have been punishable by death.

The miracle in question was that there was a rebellion against those who had taken over and outlawed the religion. They won, but only had enough oil to burn for one night. Miraculously, the fuel lasted a whole eight days, giving them enough time to recover more oil. That is why lights are so important to the holiday.

And that's why there were all the candles. I see.

Almost like they're asking for their own miracle of lights.

Dear Rosinante,
Yes and I had hoped that it would work!

I think it's up for us to deliver. We'll have to try our best.

Dear Rosinante,
Yes. I will attempt a miracle. Perhaps in the context of the season, one will come.
