"The 'conception' was predestined long before the feast of Hanukkah was ever considered or Epiphanies ever drew a breath."

For that matter, the 'conception' was predestined long before any act of creation was uttered; so the point is meaningless as an argument for ignoring the Jewish feasts in favor of interpretations of 'nature'.

"No I do not worship the 'sun', but view it symbolically as what was given to flesh beings to live, because without it life would not live in flesh."

Of course nature conforms to the image of Christ when viewed properly. However, it is better to view the Jewish feasts symbolically because they all point to Christ, were fulfilled by him in some way and provide a deeper understanding of His nature and work than using 'nature' as your source. This is why I said, "The Church has lost it's way by ignoring the Jewish feast days and their prophetic witness to the person of Jesus Christ."

I thought the “Holy” feasts were established by God not a people. And where exactly did God establish the feast of Hanukkah? Kinda like Christians celebrating Ishtar instead of ‘Passover’! Mark your door posts so the ‘death’ angel would ‘pass over’.
