Hanukkah did not begin as a folk tradition or later legend. It emerged from a real historical crisis in the second century BC, when Jewish worship was outlawed under Seleucid rule and the Temple in Jerusalem was defiled. The story of Hanukkah is the story of resistance, faithfulness, and the fight to preserve covenant identity in the face of cultural erasure.
In this episode of Modern Mind, Ancient Book, we trace the historical events that led to Hanukkah becoming a lasting Jewish festival—from the persecution under Antiochus IV Epiphanes, to the Maccabean revolt, the rededication of the Temple, and the development of Hanukkah as a memorial of dedication rather than a Torah-mandated feast.
Drawing from the historical record preserved in 1 & 2 Maccabees, Jewish tradition, and Second Temple history, this study explores how Hanukkah became a celebration of light, faithfulness, and God’s quiet preservation of His people. We also examine how the holiday was understood in the time of Jesus and why its story continues to matter today.
