National/Jewish Religious Holidays

Easter Sunday

For those who did not know or for those who say What is Easter Sunday? Or Resurrection Sunday?

Easter Sunday or Resurrection Sunday is a holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans. The date this year is April 04, 2021. It is celebrated through church services, meals, gift giving, prayer, and sometimes night vigils. This is a national holiday for all believers and non believers. The celebration may vary based upon the person's beliefs and ideas of God but this holiday is recognized all over the world. For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son. 

Passover March 27, 2021- April 04, 2021

The holiday of Passover celebrates the emancipation of the Jewish people from slavery (in ancient Egypt). In Hebrew they say Pesach which means to Passover and that is exactly what God did as the children of Israel experience deliverance and the Egpyt experienced his judgement. The plague that killed the firstborn children of Egypt Passed over the Israelites homes (their children were spared). 

Rosh Hashanah Sept 6-8

It is simply the Jewish New Year.  It is a celebration of creation. In Hebrew it simply means the head of the year or the beginning of the year. For us we celebrate the beginning January 01, 2020. So for most of us we have already begun our new Year for 2021. We eat, we celebrate and we ring in the New year. Well the Jewish people will be celebrating their New Year. 

Yom Kippur Sept 15-16

Yom Kippur happens specifically so many days after Passover and it is known as the time of repentance. It is a time for atonement for sins. It was time when the Jews sought to achieve reconciliation by seeking God. Today you can repent of your sins any day of the week in the name of Jesus Christ and because of Jesus Christ. How ever Jesus observed these significant holidays and their meaning and what they represent. 

Have a great day!
