GOD´S BIBLICAL FEASTS

Although this is not a festival directly ordained by God, it is a festival that is in the Scriptures. Even Yeshua (Jesus) kept it! (John 10:22). This is the real winter festival that you can find in the scriptures. Also known as the festival of lights, Hanukkah in Hebrew means to dedicate, initiate, or consecrate.

​

According to history in the year 165 BC, after a difficult and long battle against the great army of King Antiochus IV who tried to eradicate the Jews, but they obtained a miraculous victory. 

Upon retaking control of the Temple, they could not use the altar that had been desecrated, so they built another one and dedicated it for eight days, just as it had been done with Solomon's temple.

​

Another story tells that in those eight days there was only a small amount of oil, enough for one day, but miraculously they were able to use it for all those eight days. For this reason, during each night of Chanukah, the central candle

(which symbolizes the messiah) is used to light one of the eight candles.

​

This is a feast that reminds us to keep our conviction and fight for it, it reminds us that our God is a God of miracles, who gives us victory and provision.
