God's Annual Holy Days
Spring Holy Days

Abib 1 is not a designated Holy Day, but is included as it is "New Year's Day" in God's Calendar and determines the dates of the Spring Holy Days. Abib 1 should be confirmed by observation of the crescent New Moon and the maturity of the barley the previous evening in Jerusalem. Dates in brackets are alternative dates if the New Moon is not seen on the expected date. Alternative months apply where the barley harvest is early (E) or late (L). The first day and last day of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost are Annual Sabbaths. People living east of Israel and west of the International Date Line should add another day to all of the above dates.

Autumn Holy Days

Trumpets, Atonement, the first day of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day are all Annual Sabbaths. Dates in brackets are alternative dates if the New Moon is not seen on the expected date.
The dates were calculated using the God's Calendar software (Ver 10.0) developed by CHCP. The software can be downloaded from our Internet WEB page or requested from us directly. It is distributed without cost to you.

The Holy Days begin at dusk on the previous evening and finish at dusk on the given date in the tables below for countries west of Israel and east of the International Date Line. Due to man's incorrect placement of the Date Line, the Holy Days begin at dusk on the given date and finish at dusk on the following day in countries east of Israel and west of the International Date Line. (That is, the Holy Day begins in Israel and spreads throughout the world from there.) Please read The International Date Line and the Mark of the Beast and God's Date Line and Israel for more information on this. The articles are available on our website. The date line problem means that the Annual Holy Days are observed a day later for countries east of Israel and west of the International Date Line when using a conventional calendar.
