The President shared a peculiar image advocating the union of two religions.
He President Javier Milei shared a Christmas greeting this Wednesday the 25th on their social networks. There, his message was: “Merry Christmas, Chanukah Sameach”in which he related the Jewish religion to the Catholic religion.
The greeting caught the attention of several users on social networks. Historically, it is a Catholic tradition, mostly in Argentina, that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and, some time ago, it joined the story of Santa Claus. For this reason, the Jewish community does not participate in the commemoration because it does not recognize Jesus as the legitimate son of God.
However, The President’s post is not capricious. ANDThis year, December 25 coincides with the beginning of a very traditional celebration in the Jewish community. It is about Chanukah Sameach, the Jewish festival of lights that lasts eight days and eight nights.
The holiday of Hanukkah commemorates the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the rebellion of the Maccabees against the Seleucid Empire. After achieving Jewish independence, they carried out a purification of pagan gods in the Temple. To do this, they managed to light the place’s candelabra for eight days with enough oil for just one person. What was considered a miracle in Jewish tradition.
That’s why in the President’s post A rabbi is seen with a candelabrum of eight candles. His admiration for this tradition is known. That’s why it’s not surprising that he shared it.
Christmas in peace: the messages of politics on Christmas Eve
In addition to President Javier Milei, different politicians expressed their greetings for the Christmas Eve and Christmas holidays. Mauricio Macri expressed his analysis through his social networks: “We are experiencing a moment of high planetary unrest, also in the region. Therefore, my Christmas wish is, above all, that peace is maintained, the rest can be resolved.”
Another of the former presidents who did not omit a directed message was Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, that targeted the judicial alignments of Javier Milei and Mauricio Macri: “Mafia and delirium, dangerous binomial for the destinies of the Homeland in these Christmas Eve”.
However, he hoped that “tonight when we share the arrival of Jesus with our loved ones Let us ratify our values of solidarity and love of neighbor. Let us ask for temperance and intelligence and reaffirm the value of unity in community.”
