Festivals of Light

Festivals of Light are celebrations that symbolize hope, victory, knowledge, and spiritual awakening through the use of illumination. Common around the world, they often involve lighting candles, lamps, or fireworks to dispel darkness and represent the triumph of good over evil. Examples include Diwali in India, which signifies the victory of light over darkness; Hanukkah in Judaism, commemorating the miracle of the oil; and Christmas lights in many Western countries, symbolizing joy and hope. These festivals foster community, reflection, and cultural identity through shared lighting traditions.
