Festival of Lights message from the ACW Director

From ACW Director,  Barbara Bridges- my feeble attempt at making sense of it all.

Happy Festivals of Lights

  • Judaism believes the Maccabees made 8 days of light from 1 day of oil. Happy Hanukhah!
  • The Hindi Diwali celebrates knowledge over ignorance and good over evil. Happy Diwali!
  • Christians believe Jesus was born on December 25. Incense and lights are involved. Merry Christmas!
  • The Germanic Yule time focused on December 21 and the disappearing daylight. Merry Solstice!
  • And then there is Festivus – an example of art creating culture. Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us!

NO NEED FOR CONFLICT

NO NEED FOR STRIFE

NO NEED FOR US TO GET OUT A KNIFE

LET’S JUST HOLD HANDS AND LIVE OUR BEST LIFE!
