The Ceremonial Code The second facet of the Law is the ceremonial division. These ceremonies include seven yearly festivals known as the seven feasts. The English names are: Passover Unleavened Bread

Firstfruits Pentecost Trumpets Day of Atonement Tabernacles

These seven are celebrated each year at specific appointed times on the Jewish calendar. Other ceremonies and special seasons included a weekly Sabbath of rest (Exod. 20:10), new moon celebrations (Ps. 81:3), and Jubilee rest cycles (Lev. 25:9– 52). Throughout time, other major events in the history of the Jews would be remembered and added to these yearly festivals. Paul wrote that these unique biblical celebrations and ceremonies were all a preview (a shadow) of the coming Messiah and His kingdom: So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
