The miracle of the Oil burning for 8 consecutive nights when there was only enough oil for one.

Hanukkah commemorates this miracle with the lighting of candles on eight successive nights. A Hanukkah menorah, with nine branches instead of the seven on a regular menorah, is used for this purpose. Eight of the candles are lit one by one on each night of Hanukkah, and the ninth candle, known as the shamash, is lit every night and used to kindle the other candles. The key word here is miracle and in the Jewish faith that was performed by God.

Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights, usually celebrated about the time of Christians' Christmas. While Jesus was on earth He most likely celebrated Hanukkah since He was a Jew. But Christians of the New Testament do not celebrate Hanukkah.

Shouldn't the name Jesus Christ be Jesus the Christ?

That is a wonderful question, but the Bible does not use much punctuation, so in reality, speaking of the grammar, it is suppose to be written Jesus, Christ. not Jesus Christ. As many references in the KJV of the Bible, is Christ Jesus, written correctly Christ, Jesus, or Jesus, Christ. It is referring to Christ.
