6. B. Hanukkah. In 165 B.C. the Greeks desecrated the Jewish temple, making it a temple to Zeus. Three years later the Jewish freedom-fighters (the Maccabees) reclaimed it. Hanukkah celebrates its rededication and the miracle that occurred: a one-day supply of lamp oil burned for eight days. On this day, also known as The Feast of Dedication, the Jewish leaders asked Jesus for a miracle to prove he was the Messiah (John 10:22-26).
