The Miracle of Hanukkah
In 1st Maccabees 4.59, then Judas and his brothers and all the assembly of Israel determined that every year at that season, the day of dedication of the altar should be observed with joy and gladness for eight days. Hanukkah is meant to focus on the gift of God in returning to His holy house. They offered a sacrifice of well-being and a thanksgiving offering. And that light, the light, produced the miracle that allowed the light to continue. The Lord's destroying angel came and Assyria woke up with 185,000 casualties and they turned tail and ran.
