The Jewish feast is also known as the feast of first fruits. Think about that in context of the birth of the church.

The first harvest in the year is the barley harvest. Think about the book of Ruth, where Boaz takes a gentile bride...

As I recall the feast of the first fruits (the barley harvest) is celebrated by Christians as Whitsunday (White-Sunday). It signifies the warming of the season and that baptisms now begin. Thus, the wearing of white garments, and Whitsunday.
