Here's When the Biblical Holidays Happen in 2024

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!

Biblical Holiday Dates 2023 (Torah to the Tribes Calendar)

Since many of you keep the calendar from Torah to the Tribes, I wanted to share the dates for when the Biblical holidays land this year, according to their calendar. It is not my goal to tell you to keep these dates, the traditional ones, or another calendar. There are pros and cons for many different timelines of when the set apart times land on the Gregorian calendar. Please pray about which calendar YHWH would have you take part in. If you have a community near you, joining in with the dates they use makes it possible to celebrate with other believers.

Again, these are the dates that Torah to the Tribes goes by.

When do the Biblical holidays happen in 2023?

Passover - April 3

Unleavened Bread - April 4-10

First Fruits - April 9

Shavuot - May 28

Feast of Trumpets - September 17

Yom Kippur - September 26

Feast of Tabernacles - October 1-8

Keep in mind, that on this calendar days are considered to be light-to-light. So Passover starts in the morning of April 3, and goes until the next morning.

It's also important to note that while all of these are special times, some of these are also considered Sabbath days 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.

Whichever dates you go by, make sure to put the Biblical holidays into your calendar!

Biblical Holiday Dates Printable for 2022

These are the dates for when the Biblical holidays land in 2022! 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.

Once again I'm giving you two different sets of dates. There are many calendars out there that believers observe, and my goal is not to convince you of which one to pick. I share these two because they are the most common amongst people I know. I would encourage you to pick a calendar and go with it. If you have a congregation, going with their dates gives you a chance to celebrate with community, which I am all for. As always, pray about how you should live and be willing to make changes and adjustments as your faith grows and you learn more.

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 15 and ends at sundown the next day, on April 16. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and Yom Teruah, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.

Passover - April 15-16

Unleavened Bread - April 16-23

First Fruits - April 23-24

Shavuot - June 4-6

Feast of Trumpets - September 25-27

Yom Kippur - October 4

Feast of Tabernacles - October 9-17

Sabbath days:

First day of Unleavened Bread - April 16-17
Last day of Unleavened Bread - April 23-24

Yom Kippur - October 4-5
First day of Sukkot - October 9-10
Last day of Sukkot - October 16-17

Torah to the Tribes' calendar:

This calendar uses daylight to daylight dates. This means Passover starts at daybreak on April 3 and ends at daybreak April 4, which is the start of Unleavened Bread.

Passover - April 3

Unleavened Bread - April 4-10

First Fruits - April 10

Shavuot - May 29

Feast of Trumpets - September 17

Yom Kippur - September 26

Feast of Tabernacles - October 1-8

Sabbath days:
First day of Matzah Week - April 4
Last day of Matzah Week - April 10
Shavuot - May 29
Yom Teruah - September 17
Yom Kippur - September 26
First day of Sukkot - October 1
Last day of Sukkot - October 8

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. For more about this see this post. We should prioritize having these days off from work. The other holidays we are not required to treat as Sabbaths and are free to work or get groceries. If possible, I would encourage you to take these days off of work as a way to change your pace and have fun with the Biblical set apart times.

Whatever calendar you go by, now is the time to plan your schedule and put in for time off from work so that you can enjoy these set apart times.

Here's When the Biblical Holidays Happen in 2022

The Biblical holidays are significant times for believers. The Creator set these times apart and throughout history he has used these feasts and holidays in big ways, from the Messiah being killed at Passover to the Holy Spirit being given at Shavuot, and we should expect him to continue that trend. Let's pay attention to when these special times are and take part in them like Scripture says we should!

Leviticus 23 tells us when these happen, but since the Gregorian calendar doesn't match up with the Creator's calendar the dates land a little bit differently each year. There are also a few different ways to calculate the start of the year and because of that there are several different calendars that believers go by. What I'm sharing here is the one that is mostly commonly used. Whether you go by this calendar or another, mark your calendars for these set apart times!

When do the Biblical holidays happen in 2022?

Passover - April 15-16

Unleavened Bread - April 16-23

Yom Kippur - October 4-5

Feast of Tabernacles - October 9-17

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 15 and goes through the evening of the 16th.
