  1. 🕎 #Hanukkah #history #facts — The #Hasmoneans ("#Maccabees"), who recaptured the great Temple in #Jerusalem from #Antiochus IV, were great freedom fighters but violent rulers.

    🕎 E.g, in 135, John Hyrcannus I, one of Simon Maccabbee’s sons, took over because Simon’s other two sons were unavailable: Simon’s son-in-law had murdered them, along with Simon himself.

    🕎 The Hasmoneans' tyrannical leadership would pave the way for #Christmas...

    Stay tuned...
