Ko e Hanukkah ko ha ʻaho malolo maʻu pe ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e mythology manakoa mo e hisitolia ʻo e kuonga muʻa. ʻI he taimi ʻoku kole ai ki he ʻavalisi ʻo e tokotaha ke ne fakamatalaʻi Hanukkah, te nau lava ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e talanoa ʻo e kiʻi hina lolo naʻe hoko ʻi ha mana ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe valu. Mahalo ʻe vahevahe ʻe ha niʻihi kehe ʻoku fekauʻaki ʻa Hanukkah mo e tau fakalotu ʻi he senituli 2 ʻo e hegemony ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Maccabees, ko ha kulupu ʻo e kau Siu faivelenga, ki he lea faka-Kalisi-Assyrian ʻi he malumalu ʻo e pule ʻa ʻAniteokeus Epiphanes IV. ʻOku ʻikai ko e faingataʻa ʻo e ongo fakalea ko ʻeni ʻoku ʻikai ko hona moʻoni, ka ko e ngaahi fakangatangata ʻoku ʻomi ʻe heʻenau fehokotaki ki he Siu ʻo onoponi.
Maʻa e kakai lalahi kuo nau liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi talatupuʻa ʻo e ngaahi fananga nifo, Sanita Claus, pea mo e Loch la fakamanavahe, tali ʻo e, ʻikai ha bifurcation fakaʻatamai, ko ha mana fakalangi fekauʻaki mo e loló ko e, ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ha sitepu ʻoku fuʻu mamaʻo. Ko e meʻa tatau pe, ʻOku faʻa ʻi ai foki mo ha founga fakahisitolia ki Hanukkah.
Ko e fakamatala fakanounou angamaheni ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho malolo ʻa e kau Siu: "Naʻa nau feinga ke tamateʻi kimautolu. Naʻa mau ikuna.

Ko e meʻa ʻoku ne ʻai Hanukkah mahuʻinga ʻoku ʻikai ko hono tupuʻanga, ka ko hono makehe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e toenga ʻo e tohi mahina ʻa e kau Siu. Neongo ko e lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho malolo ʻa e kau Siu ʻoku staged maʻu pe ʻi he ʻapi pe ko e fale lotu, ʻOku kehe ʻa e Hanukkah. Ko e fakaʻilonga mahuʻinga ʻo Hanukkah ko e maama ʻo e hanukkiah, Ko e Hanukkah menorah. ʻOku vilitaki ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino ki he maama ko ʻeni ke tafunaki ʻa e hanukkiah ʻi he mamalu ʻa e efiafi, ʻi he vakai ki he kau fononga, tautautefito ki he lolotonga ʻenau ʻi he ngaahi hala. Neongo ko e ngaahi ʻaho malolo kehe ko e ngaahi ʻaho malolo ʻo e feohi fakaesino, Ko e Hanukkah ko ha ʻaho malolo ia ʻo e lea ki he kakai.
Ko e meʻa mālié, ʻOku tatau ʻa e natula ʻo e kakai ʻo Hanukkah mo hotau momeniti lolotonga ʻi he hisitolia ʻo e kau Siu. ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, Kuo sio ʻa e kau taki ʻo e kau Siu mo e laypeople ki he demographics faka-Siu ʻi he manavahe. ʻI he ʻikai ke birthrates ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau ʻevangelioo, pea toe lahi ange ʻa e mali mo e assimilation, Naʻe ʻi ai ha manavasiʻi moʻoni pe ʻe ʻi ai ha kau Siu ʻevangelioo ʻi he kahaʻu.
ʻI Me ʻo e 2021, Naʻe tukuange ʻe he Senita fekumi ʻo e sea ʻa ʻene ako fakamuimui taha ʻo e Kolo ʻo e kau Siu ʻAmelika. Ko e meʻa mālié, ʻOku hange ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he fakamatala ʻo e sea loloa neongo sipinga mo e founga ʻo e founga Kuo liliu e ngaue ʻa e kau Siu, lahi, ʻOku kei ʻiloʻi pe ʻe he kau Siu ko e kau Siu. Ko e vili taʻeʻunua ko ia ko e Suta ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa pe ia ki he "ngaahi feituʻu faka-Siu" ka ʻoku kei ʻi ai pe ʻa e anga fakafonua faka-Siu mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga faka-Siu ʻi he aʻusia ʻo e moʻui fakaʻaho, ʻOku fenapasi fakaʻofoʻofa ʻa e sifi paradigmatic ko ʻeni mo e ʻaho malolo Hanukkah.
ʻI heʻetau fakaʻutumauku ʻi heʻetau fakafiefiaʻi ʻo Hanukkah, ʻoua muʻa naʻa tau hohaʻa koeʻuhí ko hono aleaʻi ʻo e tupuʻangá, ka ke fakahoungaʻi mo fakafiefiaʻi Hanukkah ʻa e meʻa ʻoku hoko — ko ha fakamatala ki he kakai ʻo e fehokotakiʻanga faka-Siu, Tuʻunga ʻo e kau Siu, mo e hikisia ʻa e kau Siu. Ko ha ongo fakaofo ia ke fakafiefiaʻi!
