1 Maccabees 4:54 In-Context

52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month of Chislev, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up early in the morning

53 and offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings which they had made.

54 Note at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it: even in the same was it dedicated with songs and citharas and harps and cymbals.

55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshiping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.

56 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.
