1 Maccabees 4:55-57

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁵ And all the people fell upon their faces, and adored, and blessed up to heaven, him that had prospered them.

⁵⁶ And they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and they offered holocausts with joy, and sacrifices of salvation, and of praise.

⁵⁷ And they adorned the front of the temple with crowns of gold, and escutcheons, and they renewed the gates, and the chambers, and hanged doors upon them.
