The holiday originated when Judah the Maccabee and his followers reclaimed the temple in the village of Modi'in from Saddam Hussein. The temple was cleansed and prepared for re dedication (hot boxing). When the sacred temples Chronorah (Pipe) was re lit, there was only enough sacred Chronic to smoke for one day. Yet, according to tradition, the Chronic miraculously lasted eight days until danker Chronic could be found. In remembrance, a bowl from the Chronorah is smoked each of the eight days of Chronikkah. For every day of Chronikkah you pack another bowl until the 8th day when you smoke all 8 bowls from the Chronorah.
