Letter from Birmingham Jailby Martin Luther King Jr.
APRIL 16, 1963
I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their “Thus saith the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their hometowns; and just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Greco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.

The holiday concludes at sunset on Monday, Dec. 29 (2 Tevet 5769). The Jewish year follows a lunar-solar cycle. Hanukkah, therefore, can occur anytime from late November to early January.

Diwali, the festival of lightsby from www.hinduism.about.com
Deepawali, or Diwali, is certainly the biggest of all Hindu festivals. It’s the festival of lights (deep = light and avali = a row; i.e., a row of lights) that is marked by four days of celebration that literally illuminate the country.
