Biblical Feasts: Holy Days vs Holidays

Published on January 29, 2024October 7, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog17 Comments

I’ve been extremely interested in the Biblical Feasts and Holy Days that are mentioned in the Bible but it can be a little overwhelming to try to figure all of this out. Check out Leviticus 23 for more information.

The Sabbath is probably one of the most well-known of these Holy Days and I would like to start keeping it the way it should be kept

Check out our Perpetual Meal Plans for ideas to celebrate some of these Holy Days!

These are some of the other Holy Days and Feasts that I want to learn more about so that they can be properly celebrated.

Passover (Spring)
Unleavened Bread (Spring)
Feast of Weeks / Shavuot / Pentecost (Spring)
Trumpets / Yom Teruah (Fall)
Atonement / Yom Kippur / The Fast (Fall)
Tabernacles / Sukkot (Fall)
Eighth Day / Last Great Day (Fall)

The first three are about things that have already come to pass while the last four are telling us of things that are yet to come. It is more than a little exciting to think of all that we have to look forward to!

There are other days that I find interesting as well and I would like to research them a little more.

Special Holiday Meals: Leap Day Menu

This day only comes around every four years, so it’s ok to make it a little extra special… maybe even have four meals instead of your usual three? I don’t think my kiddos would object to that.
