On the third night of Chanuka

The empty rectangular pits in this picture are said to be the graves of Maccabees, the warriors who fought against the Greek-Syrians (heck if I know what a Greek-Syrian is, but that’s what the stories say) after the temple was desecrated. I took this picture on 12/19/84 but I’m pretty sure nothing’s changed. This is an easily understandable and fairly accurate description of what’s generally believed to be how it went down. Here is another interesting retelling, from a website called Christus Rex.
This sunset at Modi’in illuminates how similar our views can be, no matter where we stand while watching.

Three chanukiot, three candles, third night.

Chappy Chanuka.
