1st book of Maccabees

36 Judas and his brothers said, “Now that our enemies have been crushed, let us go up to purify the sanctuary and rededicate it.”
37 So the whole army assembled, and went up to Mount Zion.
52 Early in the morning on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, that is, the month of Chislev, in the year one hundred and forty-eight,
53 they arose and offered sacrifice according to the law on the new altar of holocausts that they had made.
54 On the anniversary of the day on which the Gentiles had defiled it, on that very day it was reconsecrated with songs, harps, flutes, and cymbals.
55 All the people prostrated themselves and adored and praised Heaven, who had given them success.
56 For eight days they celebrated the dedication of the altar and joyfully offered holocausts and sacrifices of deliverance and praise.
57 They ornamented the facade of the temple with gold crowns and shields; they repaired the gates and the priests' chambers and furnished them with doors.
58 There was great joy among the people now that the disgrace of the Gentiles was removed.
59 Then Judas and his brothers and the entire congregation of Israel decreed that the days of the dedication of the altar should be observed with joy and gladness on the anniversary every year for eight days, from the twenty-fifth day of the month Chislev.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke
| Luke 19,45-48. |
|---|
45 Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things,
46 saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'"
47 And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death,
48 but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.
