His nickname “Maccabeus” likely means “The Hammer.” Some derive it from the Hebrew acronym: Mi Kamocha Ba’elim Adonai — “Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?” (Exodus 15:11) — the same root as Michael’s name.


His last words to his sons: “Be zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of our ancestors” (1 Macc 2:50).
