Does it make any difference which days we observe or whether we keep them?
Does the Bible establish whether we are to keep certain days holy to God? Let us honestly open our Bibles, and prayerfully investigate. Were these days given to ancient Israel only? Most people have supposed that all the annual Sabbaths and feast days of GOD were done away. And just as the Sunday observer is inclined to look, at first, upon any argument for the weekly Sabbath with prejudice as a heresy and to examine every argument only in an attitude of attempting to refute it, so it will be only human only natural for us, if we are not on our guard against it, to look upon any presentation of these annual Sabbaths in the same spirit of prejudice. Let us, therefore, in willing submission to God, to His will, with yielded hearts free from prejudice, with open minds desiring truth more than our own way, trembling before the sacred and holy Word of God, ask God humbly for the direction of His Holy Spirit. And in this prayerful, submissive, willing, yet careful and cautious attitude, study this question proving all things.

What are the Biblical Holy Days?
The Biblical Holy Days are the ordained Festivals observed by the followers of God as recorded in the Scriptures. Within these Annual Festivals there are seven Annual Sabbaths or "Holy Convocations" in addition to the weekly Sabbath which is also a Holy Convocation. On these Sabbaths work is restricted. The Passover: [This is a memorial day. It is not one of the "Annual Sabbaths" as work is not prohibited.] Leviticus 23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.
The Seven Annual Sabbaths in order are:
- 1st Day of Unleavened Bread
- 7th Day of Unleavened Bread
- Pentecost
- Feast of Trumpets
- Day of Atonement
- 1st Day of the Feast of Tabernacles
