Happy Chanukah.
With this 'Festival of Lights', a candle is lit on a 'Menorah' every day for eight days.

"In the Jewish tradition, donuts and smoked salmon rolls abounded." (Happy Chanukah)

Mehdi Hasan reminds us that:
Jesus is an important figure in Islam.
In the Koran, Jesus is referred to with the title of "Messiah".
Jesus is also referred to as the "Word" and the "Spirit" of God.
"No other prophet in the Quran, not even Muhammad, is given this particular honour."
