Hannukah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Hannukah celebrates the defeat of a wicked Hellenistic ruler, Anticochus Epiphanies, who defiled the Temple around 167 B.C.E. by sacrificing a pig on the alter and then setting up an image of himself on the altar. |
| | Hannukah is a reminder of the faithfulness of God. |
| | Finally, Hannukah is a reminder of the importance of not allowing oneself to be "assimilated" into the world. |
