What is the Festival of Lights of the Catholic religion?

Answer 1

It would be quite easy to conclude from all the decorative lights that are put on Christmas trees, houses, and stores, that there is a logical reason for Christmas to be called the Festival of Lights, but it isn't. Christmas falls at approximately the same time as the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, which is the actual Festival of Lights, because the central symbol of Hanukkah is a candle holder (or candelabrum) with eight branches on the sides and one central candle holder. Candles are essential to this holiday (which commemorates a miraculous event in which an oil lamp burned for 8 days despite having an insufficient amount of oil).

Answer 2

In Judaism the Festival of Lights refers to Hannukah(Channukah), the holiday that lasts eight days, usually in December. Probably the most noticeable practice during the holiday is the public lighting of candles each night, in growing number throughout the eight days.

The Hindu Festival of lights is Deepavali or Diwali.

Buddhism also has a Light Festival.

There are also many local non-religious Festivals of Light, especially during the winter holiday season.
