To further understand Jesus, the modern Christian necessarily must know how the Mosaic Law governed his life as a Jewish man. On the sermon on the mount, Jesus said: ‘Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them’ (Matthew 5:17). Among the many requirements to be observed were the three annual pilgrimages. In this post, I will outline the Seven Feasts that punctuate the Jewish year, then and now. In a subsequent post I will examine how Jesus fulfilled them.
