> It is interesting that Ramadan which ended recently, Hanukah, and
> Christmas all have lights as symbols. During Ramadan, a lantern, the
> fanoos, is carried through the streets to herald the dawn and the
> beginning of the fast. Christmas has the star of Bethlehem, the light
> that led the Magi to the newborn Jesus. Chanukah is the feast of
> lights, celebrating the miracle of the small amount of oil that was
> expected to burn only one day lasting eight.
> 
> Let the Ramadan lantern, the star of Bethlehem, and the candles of
> Chanukah bring light and peace to all of us.
