The Light

The 25th of Kislev
On this day, Jesus celebrated Hanukkah: “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.”

Originally, the Syrian leader Antiochus had destroyed the temple. “Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing pigs on its altar and smearing the temple in blood.” However, the Syrian forces could not standup against the Hasmonean. The family became known as the Maccabees – the Hammer.

LYRICS
Be the last candle burning
Perpetual spiritual yearning
Be the light shinning bright
God’s hammer of might
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

Eyes behold the sight
A miracle… the festival of light
Be the first candle burning
Burn through the night until morning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time

Celebrate with the feast of dedication
Celebration of jubilation
Be the last candle burning
Keep our small world turning
May your love light shine
Enshrined miracle of time
