When is Hanukkah this year ?

Back in 2000 Hanukkah was on at the same time as that Pagan festival. So I went to Gateshead and the Jewish quarter and bought some Hanukkah cards and sent them out.

I studied all about it, including the fact it is actually mentioned in the New Testament in passing.

According to the Apocrypha, when the Maccabees over threw their oppressors and went to cleanse the temple, they only found enough oil to light the sacred lamp for one day, yet it would take 8 days to get more. By a Miracle the sacred lamp shone for 8 days on one day's worth of Oil

I found it more attractive as a festival, with the concepts of spiritual cleansing and renewal, than what that other festival has become.

Unfortunately I do not have a Menorah to remember each day of the festival.

I hope you are being a very good girl now Amy cos you know Santa is watching you :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile:
