My favorite is Sukkot, because it is most likely when Jesus was born. And you can see that it is one of G-ds Holidays that Jesus still has to fulfill.
[It starts this Wednesday night, and goes for 7 days]


The birth of Yeshua!
The Bible does not give specific date for the birth of the body of Yeshua, nor does it say that anyone celebrated it. However the date can be determined quite closely by data given in the Bible.

The clue is in Luke 1:5, Zechariah father of John the baptizer, was a priest of the division of Abijah. When king David reorganized the priesthood, as related in 1 Chronicles 24, the numerous priests were divided into 24 divisions.

According to Josephus, one division should minister to God at the tmeple for eight days, from Sabbath to Sabbath, with two divisions serving on each Shabbat. Each priest served with his division for eight days, then again six months later for another eight days. All of the priests served during the busy times of the Passover season and Sukkot (Festival of Booths or Tabernacles.) This took care of all the weeks in the year.

Let us take the year 2000-2001, Jewish year 5760-5761, for illustration. Exodus 21 declares Nisan (Abib) the first month of the year.
The division of Abijah was 8th in the order. The first division would start after Moed (Appointed Time) of Passover/Unleavened Bread, which is always Nisan 14-22, corresponding to April 19-27, 2000, a Wednesday through the following Thursday.

Sabbath was April 29, 2000, or Nisan 24, 5760. First Division serves from April 29 through May 6, 2000.

Second Division serves from May 6 through May 13, 2000.
Third Division serves from May 13 through May 20, 2000, and so on until the 8th Division.

The eighth division (of Abijah), with Zechariah on duty, would serve from June 17 through June 24 in the year 2000. During this week an angel appears to Zechariah as he is burning incense in the Temple, and tells him that prayers are answered, that his wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and to call his name John. Read it all in Luke 1!

Zechariah goes home, Elizabeth gets pregnant by the end of June or early July. Nine months later John is born, by the end of March or early April 2001.
Passover/Unleavened Bread is always Nisan 14 – 22, but in 2001, it is April 7-15. So John the baptizer is born at approximately Passover time.

Gabriel tells Miriam that her relative Elizabeth is already 6 months pregnant. Therefore, the Body of Yeshua would be delivered from Miriam about 6 months after John is born.

Six months after Passover on the Jewish calendar is Sukkot, the Festival of Booths or Tabernacles, Tishri 15-23, which corresponds to October 2-10, 2001. All Moadim (Appointed Times, or Festivals from Leviticus 23) go by the Jewish calendar. Sometimes Sukkot is in the latter part of September, as September 25 – October 3, 1999, but never later than October.

Therefore, the body of Yeshua was delivered about the time of Sukkot, September or October!
