I wonder. Did Jesus celebrate Chanukah as a child?............

Given that, by all accounts on both sides of the issue, he was raised an observant Jew, the answer to that is “yes.”

Go eat french fries (and donuts) tomorrow in celebration!

Of course, at the time, it was known as the Feast of Dedication.

[Uri’el-2012]

A detailed reading of the Holy Scriptures(Luke 1) leads one to
understand that Yah'shua was conceived on Chanukah
(where the Light of the World entered our time and space)
and was born on Sukkot, where He tabernacled among us.

I wonder. Did Jesus celebrate Chanukah as a child?............

[John 10:22-23] And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

It is indicated here that He and the Apostles were observing it. I'm sure Joseph and Mary observed it as well.

“Now the Maccabees returned to Jerusalem............which he dedicated on the twenty-fifth of the month of Kislev, in the year 3622 (139 BCE).”

Ummmm, I think BCE is the “politically correct” way of saying B.C., i.e., it means “Before the Christian Era”, hence 139 years before Christ.
