7354 feasts and festivals

The OT makes reference to a number of feasts and festivals, which generally commemorate an event in Israel’s history (e.g., the Feast of Passover) or some season of the year (e.g., the Feast of Weeks). In the NT, some of these festivals are given new meanings, such as Pentecost, which was originally a harvest festival, but which came to celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit.

This set of themes consists of the following:

7355	feasts and festivals, nature of

7357	Feast of Firstfruits
7358	Feast of Tabernacles
7359	Feast of Trumpets
