the.com/feast of lights

means A popular English name for Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple, marked by lighting a menorah one candle more each night.

from The phrase translates the Hebrew understanding of Hanukkah's central ritual — the nightly kindling of lights — and echoes descriptions used by ancient historians like Josephus, who referred to the festival as the 'Festival of Lights' when writing about it in Greek. The name points to the Talmudic legend behind the holiday: when the Maccabees reclaimed the Temple, they found only enough consecrated oil to burn for one night, but it lasted eight — the miracle the candles are lit to remember.
