Should Christians Celebrate Chanukah?

This year Chanukah began the evening of December 7th and lasts 8 days. While Jewish people around the world celebrate, Christians are virtually unaware of this other holiday and do not even know its significance.

In the Bible, Chanukah is referred to as the Festival of Dedication (John 10:22) and we see Jesus walking to the Temple to celebrate. The word Chanukah comes from the Hebrew word “dedication.”

During the eight days of Chanukah, we will post daily articles about the history of this holiday and the way it is observed today by both Christians and Jewish people.
