- Of the post-Exilian festivals reference is made to the feast of Dedication (John 10:22). This feast was appointed by Judas Maccabaeus in commemoration of the purification of the temple after it had been polluted by Antiochus Epiphanes. The feast of Purim (q.v.), Esther 9:24-32, was also instituted after the Exile. (Cf. John 5:1.)
