A military brown "subdued" style depiction of a Maccabee's shield and two spears on a desert camo background. The shield is adorned by a lion and text reading "Yisrael" (Israel) in the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet. Hebrew text reading "Maccabee" also appears. The Maccabees were Jewish rebels who freed Judea from the yoke of the Seleucid Empire. Chanukkah is not just a mid-winter festival featuring candles and fried delicacies, it celebrates a military victory, and securing religious freedom, over the Seleucid Empire. Additionally, the revolt was a civil war involving those Jews who were loyal to G-d and those who had adopted the Hellenism of the Seleucids.
