This is a historical story about Mattathias and his sons the Macabbees. Its during the reign of the evil greek king Antiochus IV Epiphanes who in 165 BC concured the land of Israel and try to force their people to convert to their gods and beliefs. The holy land was ravaged, people murdered woman and children made into slaves and the holy temple desicrated and destroyed. The Maccabee story begins 165 BCE after King Antiochus issued his decrees forbidding Jewish religious practice, a rural Jewish priest from Modiin, Mattathias the Hasmonean, sparked the revolt against the Seleucid Empire by refusing to worship the Greek gods. Mattathias killed a Hellenistic Jew who stepped forward to offer a sacrifice to an idol in Mattathias' place. He and his five sons fled to the wilderness of Judah. Mattathias' and his 5 sons lead by Judas Maccabee defeated the army sent by Antiochus. The term Maccabees as used to describe the Jewish army is taken from the Hebrew word for "hammer".
The Chanaukah story depicts 2 major miracles that happened. The miracle of lights is where the Macabees restored the main Jewish temple and only had enough oil to light the candles for one day, but lasted eight! The other miracle is where our story takes place after Mattathias killed the Hellenistic Jew and then the small platoon of Greek soldiers who were there to convince Mattathias to worship their gods. King Antiochus sent a small army to destroy Mattathias and his 5 sons only to be defeated by them.
This version of the story is based on true events, however with a slight twist due do the fact that there is no information mentioned anywhere of how htis miracle was down and how the Macabbee's defeated such a massive army alone by themselves.
