…Or
is it Hanuka, Hanukka, or Hannukkah?
And how about Chanukah?
Actually,
it’s pronounced KHAH-NOO-KAH.
No
matter^, the holiday of lights in the dark is coming this Gregorian calendar year-- starting December 7th.
Lighting
the darkness is not a simple thing. To me, darkness isn’t just the places where
justice is scarce. It’s the very notion that we don’t know. It’s the future,
the purpose of all, the ways of the creator.
It’s
harder to be prideful and a know-it-all in the face of darkness.
And
so, I light. One little candle, and counting, at a time.
At
least for me, it’s more a hopeful gesture to understanding than a grand
celebration.
Happy Hanukkah, Mirka! May God's light shine in the world!
ReplyDeleteI like your way of celebrating--one candle at a time. May all of us be willing to add our light to overcome the darkness.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! It's a time of great anticipation. May you always have oil to replenish your lamp! Light and Love, V.
