Judas Maccabaeus was a High Priest and the first of the Hasmonean Rulers of Judaea, from about 168-161BCE. He and his Hasmonean brothers, who succeeded him, expanded the territory of Judaea west to include most of the cities on the Palestinian coast, east to the Jordan River, south to Idumaea (at the southern end of the Dead Sea) and north to Samaria and Galilee. However, Judaea was not an independent nation during his reign, but a Seleucid dependency, so any control over the Gentile territories was still theoretically subject to decisions from Damascus.

Can you name the Jewish festival of lights Judas Maccabaeus?
OpinionYou can name it whatever you want, but most people won't have a clue what you mean by "Judas Maccabeus"... I guess that means no. First performed in 1747 against the political backdrop of the Jacobite Rebellion two years earlier, Judas Maccabeus is an Oratorio by Handel. The libretto (storyline) is based in 1 Maccabees 2-8, a book of the Apocrypha (the partial bridge between the Old and New Testaments). In an attempt to suppress Judaism the festival of lights banned by Antiochus, governor of occupied Judea, was Hanukkah.
