Hanukkah
Vernarth - Liberation of Judah

Another purpose of Vernarth's physical and pararuntological regression, like the arms of Hanukkah, is to purge her spiritual body to leave her Piece of Muscle rubbed on the helpless ground, perhaps wearing her Leonatus on her non-biodegradable shell; as a new prince, replacing Alexander the Great from the true Hellenic pro-sons and claimed polis on Judah soils. On the walls of air in Gaugamela I sliced with my Xifos and Kopis, leaving them now dry and sheathed ..., to serve Saint John the Apostle and our Lord in the work of the Messiah. For this we have been revived as inclement on this holiday, of the former strategist Hetairoi of the hosts of the Great Alexander the Great.

For such a task when they left Nazareth. Arriving under the finger of Nablus, he is intercepted by these voracious sacred lights, coming from the Abrahamic ages, perhaps from Lot to immunize his offspring. Also known as the "Festival of Lights or Luminaries". On this Jewish festival of lights, which commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the rebellion of the Maccabees against the Seleucid Empire. Celebrated for eight days, the Hanukkah holiday dates from the time of Hellenic hegemony in Israel, which began with the conquests of Alexander the Great in 332 BC. C., who in his wake freed the Jewish people from the oppression of Persia, leaving Israel as an independent kingdom-state. After his death, the vast empire was in the hands of his generals who entered into warlike conflicts among themselves, so centuries later the Seleucid Greeks tried to take control of the region, as can be read in the books of I and II Maccabees, where this holiday commemorates the defeat of the Hellenes and the recovery of Jewish independence at the hands of the Maccabees over the Greeks of the Seleuco dynasty, and the subsequent purification of the Second Temple of Jerusalem from pagan icons, in the 2nd century BC. C.

Vernarth, was here as commander, when he freed them from the boot of the Persians, remembering his epic when he was a servant of the oppressed legions. Thus he freed them, forming part of this history of which has threads of messianic history and culture opening gaps for evangelization, which looms under the robe of The Nazarene like a child's tale ..., to be told to adults with nine candles Hanukkah. Jewish tradition speaks of a miracle, in which the temple candelabrum could be lit for eight consecutive days with a meager amount of oil, which was enough for only one. This gave rise to the main custom of the festival, which is to progressively light a nine-branched candelabrum called Hanukiah, one for each of the days plus a pilot arm.

Vernarth describes: “Our Entry into the soil of Judah…, as luminaries we were received, our messianic introduction will change history in its objectivism, liberating the Hebrews from the Persian Empire. Inopportune were the new masses of the departure of Alexander the Great that after freeing them, his minions wanted to appropriate a free inheritance, which only belongs to Iahvé. Seleucus being an officer appointed by Alexander the Great, he was appointed head of the Hypaspists (elite soldiers and spearmen) on a date close to 330 BC. C. For this reason I looked many times at your faces, seeing in them the voracity and anti-national vocation, that of exorbitant of the limits of the unwary power. That is why in the death of our great general…, Seleucus attempted to dominate Judah, deftly raising the exhumation of the general aiming for a drastic change by pointing his finger at the transgressor! Being justly consummated and deported by the Maccabees. In a bad time he put our noble reputation, banishing a Macedonian nickname, more than a famous degraded to an appellation stained in the disgrace of our Great Alexander the Great, substitute me as his great Commander and among them the Falangists me "

Hanukkah, means Festival of Lights, Celebration of Dedication and Celebration of the Maccabees. Children receive gifts, especially in areas where Jewish and Christian children are in close contact. Hanukkah commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians as well and the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem around 165 BC. The re-dedication was necessary because the Seleucide king of Syria, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, had desecrated the temple by installing an altar to Zeus at the site. When the Maccabees began preparing the temple for rededication, they found that they only had enough oil to light it for one night. In the end, the oil lasted eight days, until the new delivery of the new consecrated resource. Candles are lit every Hanukkah night to commemorate the miracle.

During the first night, a candle is lit in a special candelabrum called a menorah or hankkiyah. Here Reaeder and Petrobus joined this beautiful festival paying special attention to the Dreidel pirinola, which they found to be very educational in the game that captured their full attention. Eurydice and Etréstles holding a candlestick in each hand would start the second night, adding a candle until eight candles were reached on the last night. The candles are lit by a separate candle called a shamash, here were Alikanto and Verbarth with Saint John the Apostle, lighting it first and then using it to light the other candles. The candles are installed in the menorah from right to left, but they are lit from left to right. A symbol of Hanukkah is the dreidel, a pirinola with which a game is made. Before the Maccabean Revolt, it was illegal for people to read the Torah under Antiochus IV Epiphanes. When the soldiers arrived, the Jews pretended to play a game of chance involving a pirinola. They satiated traditional Hanukkah foods such as latkes or potato buns, fried in oil, as another way to incorporate the memory of the Maccabees free of all invaders, auguring them more lightly than their own Sun.

Thus this festival would culminate, among themselves, in Nablus, before reaching Bethlehem, heading south through the desert with their twelve giga-camels…, the lights that would take them camping through the Nablus desert south to Bethlehem.
