Thanks, Caro, it really is interesting. And I hope this thread doesn't get out of hand, I was a bit wary of posting it, but curiosity got the better of me and I want to know what people think. Hopefully we can discuss it in a sesible way like all other threads, I am confident that we can, I wouldn't post it on any other forum than belly belly.

Thanks for the info Yael. It seems from what I've read the festivals that christians were told to celebrate were:

Passover
Days of Unleavened Bread
Pentecost
Feast of Trumpets
Day of Atonement
Feast of Tabernacles
Last Great Day

And the Sabbath of course (Saturday)

Not surprising the same as Jewish ppl (although u have extra specific to you) as we are from the same origin and same god (as I understand).
I'm not sure why many ppl don't celebrate them. From a Christian point of view, Jesus celebrated them during his time and we are told to live by his example but are not following them? That's got me confused, lol.
