According to la:Encaenia, "Encaenia" is also the Latin term for the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Can anybody verify this? — Itai (talk) 17:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. See John 10:21 in the Vulgate. Encaenia is a Latin term derived from the Greek: See here. Commencement on the other hand, is not a Latin term at all. Rwflammang (talk) 16:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
