I don't think maceraseven meant literally "today" since this PBN can be viewed any day. I believe the title means "what day does the picture represent?"#8: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Apr 14, 2022 [SPOILER]
However, as mootpoint observed, there are a couple of branches missing from this menorah, which undermines the quality of the picture.
Hm. I thought I remembered that a seven-branch Menorah is for Kwanzaa. But when I looked it up, I found out that a seven-branch Menorah is an everyday Menorah, while a nine-branch Menorah is a special type of Menorah for Chanukah. I am Jewish but did not know that!

But also, yes, Kwanzaa has a seven-candle holder called a Kinara:
