Biblical Holiday Dates Printable 2023 (traditional calendar)

These are the dates for when the Biblical holidays land in 2023! As usual, here is a 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.

Normally I give a few different sets of dates because there are many different calendars that believers use to line up the Biblical months with the Gregorian calendar our society uses. Right now I'm just giving the traditional calendar because I haven't heard back from ministries that use others. Hopefully it will be updated to include a few more soon!

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 5 and ends at sundown the next day, April 6. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and Yom Teruah, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.

Passover - April 5-6

Unleavened Bread - April 6-13

First Fruits - April 8-9

Shavuot - May 25-27

Feast of Trumpets - September 15-17

Yom Kippur - September 24-25

Feast of Tabernacles - September 29 - October 7

A note about Sabbath days:

As mentioned, certain Biblical holidays are to be treated as we would the weekly Sabbath. That means taking time off of professional work, and as many normal household chores and tasks as possible. We don't shop on the Sabbath or run errands. We should prioritize having these days off from work. Most of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of Tabernacles are not Sabbath days, which means we can choose to work, get groceries, etc. if necessary. If possible, I would encourage you to take these days off of work and/or school as a way to change your pace and have fun with the Biblical set apart times. If it's not possible for you to take off every Biblical holiday, prioritize the ones that are Sabbath days!

Sabbath days:

First day of Unleavened Bread - April 6-7
Last day of Unleavened Bread - April 12-13
Shavuot - May 25-27
Feast of Trumpets -  September 15-17
Yom Kippur - September 24-25
First day of Tabernacles - September 29-30
Last day of Tabernacles - October 6-7

Jeremiah 30:10 Bible Verse Printable

Love YHWH and His Commandments Printable

So many people have told me that the Old Testament books are just not practical for today, but if you study these books of Scripture you will find that that's just not true! Here is some great life advice from Deuteronomy."Love YHWH and his commandment always." -Deuteronomy 11:1I think that is such practical advice. If we love who we serve and the things he tells us to do we are going to be much more content and at peace if we resist every little thing he asks us to do. The word "always" is a great reminder to not just love and serve him when it's convenient or when things are going well, but all the time, in all circumstances.

Jeremiah 33 Printable - Abundance of Real Peace and Truth

Here's an amazing promise from Scripture:

"I will cure them and reveal the abundance of real peace and truth." -Jeremiah 33:6

I love that he doesn't just promise peace and truth...I think there are so many things that promise that and then just don't deliver. But YHWH is talking about real peace and truth. Those things can only come from him. So if you're looking for the peace that surpasses understanding, or peace in any circumstance of life, or the truth that is living water, then turn to him.

Here is a printable to remind yourself of this wonderful truth.

Write the Torah on Their Hearts Printable

 

Need a verse to inspire you at home? How about this significant statement from Hebrews?

"I will put my Torah in their minds and write it on their hearts." -Hebrews 8:10

Take note that this is a New Testament verse not just talking about the Torah in a positive way, but promising that it would be written on the hearts and minds of believers! This is not something that happened just in the past - this is also for us today. Print this off as a reminder of this Biblical truth.

Serve YHWH Printable

"Serve YHWH with all your heart." -1 Samuel 12:20

I love having Bible verses displayed in my home: the ten commandments framed, on my homemade chalkboard, and in any of the many printables that I frame or put on the fridge or on the mirror. The reason I have made so many different printables is that I find after a while you tend to notice them less. Switching out Scripture verses or moving a framed verse to a different spot is a great way to freshen things up and to have that Scripture resound in you while you're getting ready for the day or heading out the door.

Open My Eyes - Psalm 119 Printable

"Open my eyes that I might see the wonders from your Torah." -Psalm 119:18

What an amazing statement! If you haven't read through the 119th psalm to see the author's reverence for the words and instructions of YHWH, it's definitely worth a look. The unknown author waxes quite poetically about the beauty of the word, the goodness of Torah's instructions, that it's worth more than millions in gold, how the word is a lamp to our lives. He or she has nothing but praises for the Torah, and this is the longest chapter in the whole of Scripture...nothing but praises.

And yet, still they are asking to see more.

There is so much more richness and depth to Scripture than what we realize. And the more I see, the more I am aware that there is more that I haven't yet understood. No matter where you are in your faith, you can have more. This printable is available to you for free in hopes that this reminder would stir in your heart to ask to see more of the beauty from YHWH's word.
