- Passover
- Unleavened Bread
- First Fruits
- Pentecost (Feast of Weeks)
- Day of Trumpets
- Day of Atonement
- Feast of Tabernacles
Each of these consist of multiple sacrifices, outlined in Lev 28 but, in general, require two bulls, one ram, and seven lambs as a thanksgiving offering. Additionally, one goat for a sin offerings. Today, I take this to mean we should make a sizeable sacrifice - be that of time, treasure, or talent - on these days and that we should also focus on repentance of sin, that we may draw close to God.
“[God] holds all power and love and he reward[s] everyone according to what they have done.” Ps 62:12
Take the opportunity to draw near to God and he will draw near to you. With him comes blessings and true love.
Note
There are two other feasts that are celebrated in modern Israel. These are not commanded of God but we do see Jesus celebrating them. Each of them remind the people of a moment of salvation - Purim for the salvation of the Jewish race from Haman and the Persians and Hanukah from the inhumane slaughter of the religious Israelites by the Syrian Seleucids (a Greek state located in Macedonia) lead by Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
