I see a lot of lowercase descriptions of various holidays as "a feast of light" (a feast characterized thematically or otherwise by light), but I'm having a hard time finding uses of the capitalized "Feast of Light" as a name for any of the Christian or Chinese festivals. I did find two citations which I think refer to the Jewish holiday. - -sche (discuss) 19:20, 18 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I added a third cite for the Hanukkah sense. None of the others look citable. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
The 1940 citation is not clear because it could just be "Hanukkah: the feast of light" rendered into title case. It would be better to find another citation. I've removed all the other senses as RFV-failed. - -sche (discuss) 05:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
