Jesus celebrated Hanukkah

Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon’s Colonnade (John 10:22-23).

Tom Brown makes a fascinating argument that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah (the Feast of Dedication or Feast of Lights which was a man-made celebration not found in Scripture), so that provides for him some insight into the age-old question, “Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?” (also a man-made celebration not specifically found in Scripture).

Interesting!
