Israel - Hanukkah
Hanukkah is a Jewish eight-day festival of lights that starts on the 25th day of the month Kislev. It commemorates the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt that followed Judah Maccabee's victory over the Seleucids.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the king of the Seleucid Empire, forbade Jewish religious practice and tried to make Jews worship the Greek gods. This prohibition lead to the Jewish revolt against the Seleukids. It was lead by Mattathias the Hasmonean, a Jewish priest. After Mattathias' death, his third son Judah Maccabee took over as a leader, liberated the Holy Temple and re-dedicated it.
