A whole lot of us observe holidays, the “hand-me-down” type of holidays and most of us would need to dig deeper, and ask questions,
… how did this start?
… where did it begin?
… who are we actually “celebrating” when we practice or go with the tradition?
Have you heard about God’s Festivals?
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.” – Laws About the Sabbath and Festivals (Exodus 23:10-19) KJV
.
God’s Feasts, as He taught in the Bible:
- Feast of Unleavened Bread
- Feast of Harvest
- Feast of Ingathering
It’s tough to come from another “religion” that has so indoctrinated (and misled) a lot of people, but God gave us all “brains” that we can use to research the origins of some of these holidays that we participate in or celebrate – and you will be surprised to learn that most of it originated from pagan practices.
