Defiance Against an Empire:
The Maccabees’ Fight for Freedom Begins
Braveheart meets 300 in an age-old story of perseverance that demands retelling.
It’s 168 B.C., and the mighty Seleucid Empire casts its shadow over Judea, brutally enforcing its rule. The Maccabee brothers witness their people oppressed, their faith trampled, and decide they will not bow quietly. When a defiant act sparks an open rebellion, the Maccabees are thrust into a dangerous battle for freedom, pitting their cunning and courage against a vast empire.
With each day, the stakes grow higher, and the struggle intensifies. Will the Maccabees’ defiance be enough to withstand the might of an empire?
