About the event
Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights - it’s a joyful celebration of an ancient miracle, the survival of the Jewish people, and religious freedom.
Its history is recorded in 1 and 2 Maccabees, the writings of Josephus, and later rabbinical writings but is not part of the more ancient Hebrew bible.
Hanukkah is one of the minor festivals and the most recent to be added to the calendar, but also one of the most beloved celebrations for children.
And as is so often the case, it grew out of an even more ancient mid-winter celebration of the returning of the light.
