Technically, Christians have NOT been given any feast or festivals to be observed,
based upon the New Testament, other than the Memorial Feast of the Lord's Supper.
So if we wish to go strictly by the New Covenant, none of the feasts and festivals of either
the Old Covenant or Christendom should be observed. Today the Hebrew Roots enthusiasts
are promoting the observance of all the OT festivals, but that is not correct.
"this do in remembrance of me"
this is the start of the 14th [Passover]
1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus [the same night] in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped,
saying, This cup is the [new testament] in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it,
in remembrance of me.
referring back to this...
Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat
this [passover with you] before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not
any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said,
Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
Luk 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them,
saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Luk 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
This cup is [the new testament] in my blood, which is shed for you.
Do what in remembrance of me? They were taking the Passover.
Jesus changed the simbles of the Passover only, did not do away with it.
The Passover service also consists of the foot washing...
Joh 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
Joh 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Joh 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord;
neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
If ye know these things,
happy are ye if ye do them. and then Paul says this...
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump,
as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:
1Co 5:8 Therefore [
let us keep the feast],
not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
And he said that to a Gentile church, to keep the feast of unleavened bread.
Acts 12:3 (KJV)
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.
(Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Acts 20:6 (KJV)
And we sailed away from Philippi after (the days of unleavened bread),
and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
Nowhere is a Sunday morning Ishtar sunrise service taught in scripture
but the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread are taught.
The first Passover was when God covered Adams nakedness[type of sin]
with skins from an animal, shed blood.
the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread was a memorial,
ordained forever, before one word of the old covenant was spoken.
