Chanukah is also not coincidental to the winter solstice. Is it a coincidence that the festival of lights comes during the darkest time of year? (darkest because days are shortest). Yes, it does commemorate a major victory, but I don't recall that the war between the Maccabees and the Seleucids actually ended on the 25th of Kislev, they just re-lit the temple menorah at that time. |
