2 Maccabees 10:3–5

³And having cleansed the temple ^cthey made another altar, and ^dstriking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a sacrifice after ^etwo years, and ^fset forth incense, and lights, and shewbread. ⁴When that was done, ^ffthey fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that ^ghe himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations. ⁵Now ^hupon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is ⁱCasleu.
