In the beginning, "G-d said, 'Let There Be Light'"

1st Night of Chanukah

The reference is not only to physical light as we know it. This initial statement is rather the mandate of all Creation. The ultimate goal and purpose of creation is that the Divine Light shine throughout the world, transforming everything, even darkness itself, so that it, too, will shine.

Obviously. The sun and stars and celestial lights weren't created until the fourth day.
