And so they kept the DEDICATION OF THE ALTAR EIGHT DAYS, and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.

1 Maccabees 4:55-59

Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.
And so they kept the DEDICATION OF THE ALTAR EIGHT DAYS, and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.

They decked also the forefront of the temple with the crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.

Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.

Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of EIGHT DAYS, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
