One time this big jerk ass emperor said everyone had to eat pigs and pray to Zeus or die a bloody death. A bunch of renegades said, "no way you big bully!" They wanted to purify their reclaimed temple by burning ritual oil for eight days but they only had a teensy tiny amount. Somehow that little bit of oil lasted for eight days and boy were they surprised! This is the miracle of Hanukkah and why it's only celebrated by Jews I'll never know.
