This is when the Biblical holidays happen in 2025.
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 2025?
Passover - April 12-13
Unleavened Bread - April 13-20
First Fruits - April 13-14
Shavuot - June 1-3
Feast of Trumpets - September 22-24
Yom Kippur - October 1-2
Feast of Tabernacles - October 6-13
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 12 and goes through the evening of the 13th. If you do not observe days as starting in the evening, then celebrating Passover the day of April 13th 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 2025:
April 13-14
April 19-20
June 1-2
September 22-23
October 1-2
October 6-7
October 12-13
As well as all weekly Sabbaths, of course.
You have the opportunity to celebrate what God has done by joining in on the Biblical holidays this year!
