When the Maccabees returned to the holy Temple after their battle with the Syrian army, the Temple was a mess! There were animals and idols inside and the oil was missing. There was only enough oil to light the lamp for one day. Sam and Teddy, pretending to be the Maccabees, went to sleep thinking the light would be gone by the time they woke up. But to their surprise, it was still burning! One day, two days, three days... eight days! What a miracle. Ask your child to tell you the story.
I love that Teddy is "sleeping" with a smile on his face. He loves school!!
