Hmm...I'm sure we could make something similar/relevant for other religions too...

I don't think Commons should officially release greetings cards for a religious festival. Greetings cards could generate funds but would not further our aims. Why don't we direct fundraising efforts at something that will also further the aims of the Wikimedia Fondation and/or Commons? Ideally, this would be something educational or informative. For Wikipedia, for example, this might be producing and selling WikiBooks to generate funds.
I also don't think Wikimedia/Commons should endorse one particular religion (or religious festival) in this way. Transcending cultural barriers is core to what we are trying to achieve and giving a nod to a particular religious/cultural practice doesn't seem compatible.
