Here are the Gregorian dates for the Biblical Feasts in 2025.

Why is Oct 8th called the sabbath if it does not fall on a Saturday
Shalom Lucinia,
This is one of the annual Sabbaths, specifically the Eighth Day Assembly.
There are seven annual Sabbaths in addition to the weekly Sabbath:
Thank you
Because God told Moses there were “appointed times” other than the sabbath that were days of rest and no work was to be done! They will be sabbaths, rehearsals, convocations to be followed throughout their generations, Ex.12; Lev.23; Num. 28! Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of First Fruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles, the 8th Great Day! John 19 calls them ‘High Sabbath” preceded by “preparation” days, the same as the weekly Sabbath!
I am so confused concerning when to count the omer…I have asked Larry here, but did not yet get an answer….Also I should have kept the first fruit today as a shabbat day…I thought it was kept by sunset today 20 of April-25 ?? should it be kept from the morning 20 of April-25 First Fruits and start of the counting of Omer??
I know Abba forgive me for not knowing exactly….do not know who to ask, and people reach out too late to answer my question before the feast or convocation started…..Many blessings and greetings from Anne, Norway
Because it is considered a high sabbath.
No, the Biblical Feasts are NOT based on the solar calendar; THEY ARE BASED ON THE LUNAR MOVEMENT. God’s timeline is neither Gregorian nor Julian but it is His own and on His calendar a year is 360 days and the new day begins in the evening and continues the next morning and then changes to a new day at evening.
Dwight,
You are following tradition. However, this site was created to explain the Biblical Solar Calendar, how it works, and when Feast dates occur using this calendar. It is not a site for debating whether or not it is correct. Feel free to look at some of the posts, and if you disagree, then move on to something else.
Hi Larry, why is the Gregorian date for Passover different from the Jewish dates of the same year. I understand the Jewish calendar to some extent, but wondered why it is listed as April 8 here and April 12/13 there.
Also, what is an intercalation week?
Many regards.
Thanks Dana,
These dates are based on the solar calendar originally used by ancient Israel. It is described in the book of Enoch and further clarified in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The traditional dates you mentioned are from the lunar-based calendar used by much of the Jewish community since the introduction of Hellenism and now by all modern Jews. For an explanation of the intercalation week, check out my article here.
Larry
Larry, thank you for the clarification. I also appreciate the distinction you give in the different harvests, i.e. Barley and Wheat. I have never heard of the Feasts of New Wine and New oil or the Wood offering. Could you list the scriptures for them?
Many Regards,
Thanks again, Dana. I plan to have an article on these festivals very soon.
Hi and shalom!! I am little confused by the counting of omer….some say we have to count it on sunday the day Yeshuah ressurrected as he is the firstfruits of the living….it should have ben counted from 13 of April this year(2025) and not as 20 of April for those that follow another calendar??
I have been following this script of yours; the solar calendar, and celebrated passover on Tuesday night and began the feast of unleavened bread on Wednesday….
Greetings from Anne M. Norway
Shalom Anne,
There is a lot of confusion regarding when to start the counting of the omer. This site follows the Biblical Solar Calendar, sometimes called the Zadok calendar. Much of the information is taken from the Temple Scroll and other sources within the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Passover, according to this calendar, is always on Tuesday evening, the 14th day of the Biblical month (this year on the evening of April 8, 2025). The Feast of Unleavened Bread is from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, or the 15th to the 21st day of the month (April 9 through April 15). First Fruits is always on the Sunday following the Feast of Unleavened Bread, or the 26th day of the month (April 20 this year). Seven weeks later, Shavuot is always on Sunday, the 15th day of the Third Biblical Month (June 8, 2025).
For information on the dates following other calendars, feel free to visit MessianicLight.com, and for Omer counting calendars, visit Counting The Omer.
Remembering that brothers and sisters in the faith follow different calendars, please be gracious. Fellowship with others at the times that they decide to gather, whether or not you think they are correct.
Larry
Hi Larry, as a follow up to my earlier question about the Feast of New Wine and Feast of New Oil, I discovered the page on your website that gives more information about these. Thank you so much for taking the time to research them. It seems like the Lord saved the Qumran scrolls for this generation as they bear much context to our Biblical studies. I am currently reading The Book of Jasher and have found it to contain many stories that are extra-biblical, but validate it as well.
Shalom,
Is there any organized or not-so-organized Sukkot gatherings for 10-8 through 10-15-2025 (preferably in the south half of US, mid-south even better! Please let me know … David.Alan.Collins@gmail.com
Thank you and much Shalom and Father’s blessings family Yishra’el !!!
Thanks for the comment and the coffee, Dave! I am not aware of any such Sukkot gathering, but let’s see if anyone else is.
