Hanukkah is mentioned in the Books of the Maccabees, which are part of the Apocrypha, but these books are not considered part of the canon of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament.

Hanukkah is a holiday that commemorates the miracle of the oil that lasted for eight days when the ancient Maccabees rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem, which occurred after the death of Jesus.

In the New Testament, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John describe the events of Jesus’ life, teachings, and ministry, but they do not mention Hanukkah or any other Jewish holidays.

Hanukkah is a holiday that falls on the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar calendar. The Hebrew calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, with each month beginning with the new moon.
