Special deal on Ham to celebrate Chanukkah :)
Friday, December 7th, 2007
It took me more than minutes to understand the irony behind Ham for Channukas promotion posted in Seth’s blog. Couldn’t control smiling after reading the relation between Jews and Ham . WOW! Only in USA we can see such promotion. Kudos to Seth and Mordechai
What strike me is , similar festival celebrated by Tamil people living in south asia (south india, srilanka, Malaysia , Singapore and few in Thailand).
They do have similar religious day called “Karthigai” (as per Tamil calendar that day comes between November and December) to commemorate the birth of light son Kumaran (also called Muruga, Subramaniya and Thandayuthapani) who born from 6 distinct lights. On the day of sixth, people visit near by Muruga Temple by walk and lit the oil light poured in small mud made pot. This festival also called Deepam pronounce (dee’ bum) Thiruvizha (pronounce thiru’ vila) means Light festival.
What is more! the symbol of Muruga is represented by hexagram / six pointed star same as Star of David.
Happy & Meditate Chanukkha
