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.Correct. It was also the third anniversary of the desecration of the Temple, which may account for the choice of that date to relight the menorah. Some years it falls almost a full secular month before the solstice so I would say there is no relation between our festival and the changing of the seasons. Until next time... Anon_e_mouse |
