How were holidays substituted for Holy Days?
by Dean Wilson
ost people are not familiar with God's festivals and Holy Days as given in the Bible, but Leviticus 23 lists and discusses all of them.
In Leviticus 23:1-4, God states in no uncertain terms that these days are His feast days and that they are holy convocations.
In Nehemiah 8:9 Nehemiah, inspired by God, states strongly that these feast days are "holy to the LORD your God."
In 1Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul tells us directly that we are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is one of God's feasts.
Kept in New Testament
Why do most people keep the holiday seasons they keep instead of those listed in the Bible? Luke 2:42 and John 7:10,11 and 37-39 are only a few of many places where the Gospel writers spoke of Christ's observance of the biblical festivals.
A study of the New Testament also reveals that the early Church observed these days. Acts 2:1 and 1Corinthians 5:8 show the original Christians keeping these days. The apostle Paul also kept them! (Acts 18:21; 20:16).
