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.
