Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is celebrated November 1 and 2, mostly in Mexico. Contrary to some beliefs, it is in no way associated with Halloween. Families gather to remember loved ones who have passed away. There are traditional foods eaten, parades, and sharing epitaphs of a lighter, more humorous nature. The day is more for celebration than for mourning.

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday also known as the Festival of Lights, observed for eight days and nights. It is not considered a major holiday.

A candle holder for 9 candles, called a menorah, is used. One candle is used to light all the other candles. The first night, one candle is lit, the second night, two candles are lit, and so on.

A story of its origins is the miracle of oil. When the Maccabees (a group of warriors) went to re-dedicate a temple, the oil supply was nearly gone, but by a miracle, it lasted 8 days. Because of the holiday's relation to oil, most foods for this holiday are fried in oil. The most popular are latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). In recent years, savory fillings have become popular for the doughnuts.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish religion. Fasting is required, except for females under age 12 and males under age 13. There are exceptions made for those who are ill or pregnant; this is usually discussed with a rabbi. Because there is no cooking or eating on this day, the category here only provides links to other categories about the holiday. Also please note that although we have linked to the category about Fasting and Cleansing, the practice of fasting on Yom Kippur is unrelated to health aspects of fasting.
