Why is Hanukkah celebrated?

Well, originally it is spelt as “Chanukah”. It officially commences Jerusalem and the rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabean revolt, a Jewish rebellion. There was a civil war against the Seleucid empire involving Jewish camps termed the Maccabean revolt. It was about those who assimilated Syrian and Creek customs. Especially those who were rigid to put Jewish traditions and laws. 

Eventually, the Jewish traditionalist took over and gained Israel and ordered the rededication of the Second Temple. Infamous Jewish temple that was built on the temple mount between 516 BCE and 70CE. After they took over the country, they cleaned the temple and built a new menorah and altar. The Menorah is a candlestick that has seven holders which denotes seven days of creation.
