The Greeks especially knew this because it was one of the only three Mitzvos they killed Jews for observing. The Greeks were all about PHYSICALITY and everything anti-spiritual. Circumcision represented an \u2018imperfect\u2019 body, Shabbos signified the whole work week was insignificant and only to lead to a purposeful soulful climax, and Rosh Chodesh revealed that Beis Din (Rabbis of the high court) had the spiritual power over physical luminaries in the sky. When the Beis Din set the new month (even if it was the \u201cwrong day\u201d due to when testimony was accepted) that is precisely when all the moon\u2019s tides and womens\u2019 time of the month became set according to. The Greeks refused to accept anything that was SUPER-natural and set a penalty of death accordingly for any of those three observances. We celebrate EIGHT days of Chanukah because the first day\u2019s oil burning (which they had enough for in the jar) was as miraculous as the subsequent seven days which the oil lasted for. \u201cNATURE\u201d is MIRACULOUS.
