The Feasts of Yehovah

Estimated holy days for 2025, based on the sighting of the new moon when the barley is aviv (For the first month of the biblical calendar to be called “the month of the aviv,” the barley must be in the aviv state of maturation). The new moon of March should be visible on the evening of March 30, 2025. This would mean that the Biblical new year would begin at sundown March 30, 2025. If this is the case, the holy days should work out to be as follows (subject to change):

• Passover (Aviv 14): The 14th day begins at sundown Sabbath, April 12. The Seder will be held on Sunday, April 13 at sundown. All leaven should be removed from households on Sunday before sundown.
• Feast of Unleavened Bread – Aviv 15: The seven day feast would begin Sunday, April 13 at sundown, and conclude on April 20 at sundown.
• Firstfruits: The morrow after the 7th day Sabbath after Passover would fall on Sunday, April 20. Start counting the 50 days to Pentecost.
• Pentecost: June 8, 2025

The September 2025 new moon sighting would start the 7th Biblical month. At this point, the sighting appears to be difficult for the evening of September 22nd (1%  illumination), so the exact dates will remain as estimates until a positive sighting is made. The estimated dates are (subject to change):

• Feast of Trumpets: Begins at sundown either September 22 (1% illumination) or 23 (4% illumination).
• Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement: Begins at sundown either October 2 or 3.
• Sukkot/Tabernacles: Begins at sundown on either October 7 or 8.
