These are the dates for when the Biblical holidays land in 2024! I made this free printable for you to stick in your planner, on your fridge, desk, or wherever else so that you can be sure to free up these days to celebrate the set apart times of our Creator. All of these holidays are significant, and honoring them will cause your faith to grow tremendously! Some of these days are called Sabbaths in Scripture, which means we are not to do any work on those days and otherwise treat them as the weekly Sabbath. I've made a note of those days so that you can plan accordingly.
There are many different calendars that you could go by that line up the Biblical months with the Gregorian calendar used by our society, and I really don't have any strong opinions on one over another. This is the most commonly used set of dates for Passover, Unleavened Bread, and the rest of the Bible holidays.
Traditional calendar:
The traditional calendar has days going from sundown to sundown. Holidays start at sundown on the day listed. For example, Passover starts at sundown on April 22 and ends at sundown the next day, April 23. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and the Feast of Trumpets, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.
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
Sabbath days:
While all of the Biblical holidays are special, some we are to treat the same way as the weekly Sabbath. This means we shouldn't do work on these days (your job, your business, household projects, etc.), or go shopping. Of course you're free to take off work on all the holidays if you'd like, but if you can't take that much time off then these are the days you should prioritize.
First day of Unleavened Bread - April 23-24
Last day of Unleavened Bread - April 29-30
Shavuot - June 11-13
Feast of Trumpets - October 2-4
Yom Kippur - October 11-12
First day of Tabernacles - October 16-17
Last day of Tabernacles - October 23-24
