(These days are found in Leviticus 23)
These days are not commanded in the New Covenant and neither are Christmas and Easter. But it was customary for the First Century Church of God to observe these Holy Convocations.
Most ideas about Christianity and salvation center around the Death and Resurrection of Christ, Forgiveness of Sin, and Pentecost. This comprises only three-sevenths of the plan of God for mankind. Most Christians have never heard of the rest of the Good News (The Gospel of the Kingdom of God). This Gospel of the Kingdom of God, as outlined by these Holy Convocations, is the Gospel Jesus brought. These convocations were observed in the New Testament Church without the sacrifices and rituals of the Old Covenant.
