Hanukah In The New Testament
A major theological divide between celebrators of Chanukah and Christmas, to this day, as found in the Christian Bible:
"Then came the Festival of Dedication [Chanukah] at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade... Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We [Pharisees] are not stoning you for any good work,' they replied, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.'" - John 10:22, 31-33 (NIV)
Jews still celebrating Chanukah today stand by this fundamental reasoning said to have been provided by the Judaic rejecters of Jesus and continue marking the Festival of Dedication, while followers of Jesus will celebrate the birth of their deity on Christmas this winter. Either way, enjoy whatever holiday you choose to celebrate!
