This is when the Biblical holidays happen in 2024.
If you're looking for next year's dates for Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of Tabernacles you have come to the right place. These holidays have historic and prophetic meaning in Scripture and believers today can take part in that by adding these dates to their calendars!
While the Bible gives specific dates for each holiday, the Gregorian calendar doesn't match up with the Creator's calendar so the dates land a little bit differently each year on our modern calendar. There are also a few different ways to calculate the start of the year and because of that some groups will observe them at slightly different times. What I'm sharing here is the most commonly used set of dates. Whether you go by this calendar or another, mark your calendars for these set apart times!
When do the Biblical holidays happen in 2024?
Passover - April 22-23
Unleavened Bread - April 23-30
First Fruits - April 27-28
Shavuot - June 11-13
Feast of Trumpets - October 2-4
Yom Kippur - October 11-12
Feast of Tabernacles - October 16-24
A couple of things about this: according to this calendar, days start in the evening at sundown. This means that Passover starts on the evening of April 22 and goes through the evening of the 23rd. If you do not observe days as starting in the evening, then celebrating Passover the day of April 23rd would be appropriate. This calendar also gives an extra day to both the Feast of Trumpets and Shavuot, even though in the Bible they are both just one day events...feel free to just celebrate the first day of those!
It's also important to note that while all of these are special times, some of these days are considered Sabbaths which means we shouldn't work on them. These Sabbath days are the first and last days of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and the first and last days of Tabernacles. This means that believers should request off from work or arrange to be away from their business on those days, as well as refrain from shopping, errands, and yard or household projects and chores.
Sabbath days for 2024:
April 23-24
April 29-30
June 11-12
October 2-3
October 11-12
October 16-17
October 23-24
As well as all weekly Sabbaths, of course.
This is your year to celebrate the Bible holidays!

ReplyDeleteMarking my planner, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Celebrating REAL holidays from the bible is new to me. This is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI thought Feast of First Fruits was 3 days from Passover? How come it is later this year??
ReplyDeletePassover is on a set date each (14th of Aviv), while First Fruits is a set day of the week (the first day of the week). When the Messiah died, First Fruits did land three days after Passover, but it doesn't work out that way every year. :)
