The fact which have been stated many times that the true meaning of the festival Chanukah is to spread the lights everywhere that is spiritual as well as the light of humanity. This is the reason that on this festival it is believed that one should decorate his place with the candles and the other similar things for this reason the Menorah are settled up.
It was just a week ago today that I pulled my little Echo into the driveway after pushing it all the way to Florida. And we don’t live in Georgia. We live in Chicago.
While driving through Clearwater during that most wonderful trip, we happened upon a sign posted at a large Presbyterian Church. It said simply, “Christmas IS Christ.” I was at least a little while distracted from the birds and the flowers and the most un-Chicago-like temperatures.
Christmas IS Christ? Does that mean, the celebration as we know it today? Are they saying that what we celebrate every year is truly a Jesus event?
