The Jewish festival of Chanuckahvor
the Feast of the Dedication, is now in
progress, having commenced last Sat
urday. The festival lastafor one week.
The event from which the festival
originated took place .about 2,C00 years
ago, or in the second quarter ot the sec
ond century Bi-C. During the war wag
ed against the Jews by Antiochus I v .,
of Syria, in consequence of their deposi
tion of High Priest Menelaus, who was
used by the monarcli to promote Pagan
Syriac ethics, Jerusalem was stormed,
and 40,000 of the people were massacred.
ine temple was plundered, and Mene
laus, an object of, execration, was re
stored tJ the iofficfeiTrom: which Jason.
the leader of the Jewish revolt, had re
moved him. After a long period of
warfare and its attendant sufferings,
a Jewish army of 10,000, led by Judas
Maccabeus, met the Syrians to the num
ber of 65,000, at Bethsura. Defeat on
that occasion would have resulted in
the complete subjugation of the Jews.
Victory, however, crowned their arms,
and Judas Maccabeus led his followers
in triumph into Jerusalem, i The tem
ple was' restored, and the obnoxious
statues of J upiter and Antiochus were
removed and destroyed. On the 25th
day of the Jewish month of Kisley the
(te"mple was"rededicated with prayers of
praise anu maiiKsgiving.
