The beauty of the Father’s calendar and scripture is He directed the steps of Israel to follow the agricultural harvests before they ever planted one crop in the promised land.

And then had His Son’s major life events occur on either a new moon day, Sabbath or Feasts He taught Israel.. but that takes rejection of Rome’s calendar to see it..

That too is lost with things like Rome’s December 25 and their good Friday vs. The real day the Lamb laid His life down, Passover..

Each of those New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts point back to Moses and Israel and forward to Yahshua and the Kingdom. And Judaism wont see it until christianity sees it..
Because they are both blinded by Rome’ counterfeits..

According to Torah, exodus 19, they arrived at Sinai either on the 15th or 16th day of the 3rd month( because it is written that the same day Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, they came to Sinai..

And the question is what day did they leave Egypt?
Exodus 12:51 says the ‘same day’Yah brought Israel out of the land of Egypt.
That ‘day’ was the 15th day of the 1st month (or some scholars say the 16th)

Either way,that is a full 60 days by simple count before they even arrived at Sinai..
Add in that day plus two more and that is when they heard the law thundered from Sinai..
More than 10 days later than Judaism and Christianity observe it..

The math doesnt add up with Judaism or Christianity’s version..

1. Catholic hold that Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples on Holy Thursday. In Catholic theology, that is the day that Christ was spiritually offered as the paschal victim, and spiritual things are more real to Catholics than earthly things. (I’d always heard of two passover dates, but until now I’d never known where the two dates came from.) So he was offered in Heavenly ways on the Heavenly passover, and offered in Earthly ways on Earthly passover.

2. December 25 comes from two sources:
A. If he was born on December 25, that means that he was conceived on March 25, which happened to be Passover. While the Catholic Church moves the date of Easter and Good Friday, it preserves the date of the first Passover as the Feast of the Annunciation.
B. December 25 is a translation into the Gregorian Calendar of the Hebrew Day of Nisan 25 (which typically is actually several days earlier). Nisan 25 was the day in which Spirit of God came to swell in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem, the Feast of the Dedication. When the Holy Temple was destroyed by the Romans, the Jews downplayed the Feast of the Dedication, and Martin Luther followed them in removing the Book of Maccabees from the Divine Word... which is odd since Jesus plainly observed the Feast of the Dedication, going to Jerusalem not once, not twice, but three times. In fact, that’s why we figure he preached for three years: the gospels recount him celebrating the Feast of the Dedication three times. And he did so to proclaim that He was the Holy Temple, the embodiment of God on Earth.

So yeah, Catholics find a great beauty in the life events of Christ following the Hebrew festivals.
