The Feast and Festivals of the Lord
Below is a table of holidays that the people of the Lord still celebrate around the world. The links on the holidays will give a description of the holiday and how the Jewish people celebrate them today.
We believe that the feasts and festivals create a picture of Messiah's work in the earth. The Spring festivals Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost have been fulfilled by Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) in His first coming. The Fall festivals, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, will be fulfilled when he comes again. Purim and Hannukah celebrate Israel's victory over her enemies with God's divine help.
Watch our events calendar and join us as we celebrate His appointed times!
