Caption: The Old Testament conquering Jewish hero, Judas the Maccabee. He died in 160 B.C. He, his father, Mattatyahu Hasmoneaus, and his four brothers—John Gaddis, Simon Matthes, Eleazar Auran and Jonathan Apphus—are regarded as righteous saints of God in Christianity. The Hasmonean family successfully overcame Seleucid Greek tyranny; cleansed the Second Temple, restored worship and animal sacrifices there and founded the Hasmonean or Maccabee Dynasty in 140 B.C.
