Hanukkah is the celebration of the 7 days of fire which is why we light 7 candles and then one xtra one to light those, it was a time when Romans were attacking yerushalaim and there was very little oil left only supposedly enough for a few hours of holy fire yet by gods miracle the fire lasted 7 days. We also celebrate the maccabi in this holiday in one of our songs the maccabi were the bravest israeli fighters against the Romans
