The "great menorah" was second only to the Ark of the Covenant as a mighty Hebrew relic. The Menorah was carried away by the soldiers of Titus in the destruction of Jerusalem, and actually appears in a relief on the Arch of Titus in Rome. (A soldier is carrying the Menorah in the triumphal procession; presumably the artist thought that it looked curious enough that it was memorable and worth depicting.)

That doesn't answer my question.

I'll go see it too. Just like I want to see this new movie with Jim Caviezal called "I Am David." It is about the MSM taboo subject of the brutality of Communism. The story of a young boy sentenced to, living in, and escaping from a labor camp.

Jewish story filmed by staunch Catholic.
OTOH, what the story portrays, the overrunning of the Temple for multi-cultural use is no different that allowing Tibetian monks or Moslems to use the Altar in Catholic Churches or some of the other rubbish that is going on now in post VII parishes.

Actually, Kerry's paternal grandparents converted to Catholicism while still in the Austrian Empire, several years prior to their emigration to the United States.
To: Wallace T.
several years prior to their emigration to the United States.Nevertheless, conversions from one religion to another usually are for some perceived benefit. In my case, I thank God everyday that I am a heathen and do not have such issues.

I was wondering when someone would figure out who the Maccabees were...
To: wideawake
It's a beautiful, inspiring story. Inspiring, yes. Beautiful, not exactly. It's horribly gruesome.

766 tedious words, when all you really wanted to say was...
1) Get ready to be offended all over again. ( you sound hopeful it will offend )
2) You're not a fan the "Passion"
