How are hanukkah and kwanzaa alike?

Answer 1

Hanukkah has a religious connotation. It relates to the recovery of the Jerusalem Temple from the Greek heathens and to the rededication of that Temple to the one true God. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil.

Kwanzaa, invented in 1966, has no religious foundation. Instead, it celebrates African culture and ethnicity among the African-Americans of the United States of America.
