You're kidding, right? Jesus heavily criticized the religious leaders of his day for substituting their own man-made rules for God's law.

Mark 7

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"
6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:

"This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men --the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."
9 He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

Yeshua could be talking to the church, Christmas, Easter??

Tabernacles, Birth / Passover, The Crucifixion / First Fruits, Resurrection

And when Rabbi Sha'ul wrote to the Corinthians...

Colossians 2:16
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

...he was writing to those who observe the Feasts of The LORD. Lev. 23

How many Christian holidays fall out on the 'new moon?'

And the Sabbath (The LORD's Day) is Saturday, not Sunday.

Read the Prodigal's Son, The older brother is Judaism, the younger Christianity.

Wrong. Read the Didache and the letters of Ignatius of Antioch (who knew your "Rabbi Sha'ul" in the flesh). Christians switched their Sabbath observance to Sunday before the years had three digits.

Respectfully, that's not correct.

The phrase: "The Lord's day" occurs once in the Bible, written by John in Revelation. No mention of it being the Sabbath, there or in any other texts surviving from the early Church. Many references do survive, however, identifing it as Sunday (The Eighth day, the first day of the new creation) There is a clear focus in the NT on the day that Jesus rose, the Day of Pentacost, and a gathering together of Christians on the day following the Sabbath.
