What country does Hanukkah originate from?

How was Hanukkah Started?Hanukkah was started by a war between the Maccabees and the Syrian-Greeks. The Syrians overran the Holy Temple and ruined its contents. Finally the Maccabees reclaimed the Temple. They had very little oil left to light the menorah. The Maccabees thought that they had only enough oil for one day. But a miracle happened and the oil lasted for eight days. This is why we celebrate the eight days of Hanukkah. Also known as the festival of lights.
