The seven annual Jewish feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles and also ordinances were instituted by Yahweh. For Jews only in Leviticus 23 (HNB) as times of worship, remembrance, and teaching.
Those feasts and ordinances were celebrated, observed and practiced under the Old Covenant and was fulfilled or ended by Yahshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. Ushering us into a New Covenant.
Which began after Yahshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. And are no longer to be celebrated, observed and practiced in this day and time by anyone including Jewish people.
