Question

The ‘Hanukkah’ celebration is associated with which of the following communities?

A.

Buddhist

B.

Jain

C.

Jewish

D.

Parsi

Correct option is C

The correct answer is(c) Jewish
Explanation:
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a Jewish holiday celebrated for eight days and nights.
It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire.
A central tradition involves lighting the menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum, where one candle is lit each night using the central candle called the shamash.
Information booster:
· Buddhist: Buddhists celebrate festivals like Vesak (Buddha's Birthday) and Losar (Tibetan New Year).
· Jain: Jains observe festivals like Mahavir Jayanti (birth of Mahavira) and Paryushana, focused on spiritual reflection and penance.
· Parsi: Parsis (Zoroastrians) celebrate festivals like Navroz (Persian New Year) and Khordad Sal, the birthday of Prophet Zarathustra. Hanukkah is unrelated to Zoroastrian traditions.
