These days, you will come across many and different calendars. Even though calendars are initially used to show dates, months, and years, they can also be used for other reasons. You can use a calendar to mark some specific dates for events such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries, or different schedules. Christians also use calendars to mark important biblical dates such as Christmas and Easter holidays. The world has many religions, and because of that reason, different biblical dates are celebrated by every religion. Christians have a norm of celebrating festivals related to God every year. Even before the churches were established, Christians observed the biblical holy days.
The bible also states that God asked Christians or those who believe in Him to observe His laws, apart from observing His commandments, God also asked them to maintain the biblical calendar. Even though some bible chapters talk about the sacred calendar, a lot of Christians do not observe it. True believers of God are asked never break His commandment or ignore the holy dates. Biblical calendars are essential because they can prevent a church from dying if they are observed. A lot of people today have left behind their traditions so that they follow the biblical commands.
Even though many people believe that biblical calendars only show when festivals should be observed, they serve other purposes. Holidays are observed the same day in the whole world except the Passover and Pentecost days. Even though some people celebrate the sabbath day on Saturday, while others on Sunday, all God’s believers are asked to have a sabbath day every week. Even God rested after the seventh day after working for six days. Those who try to change holy days that were observed by God are breaking his commandments. Even during the time Jesus was in the world, he never tried to change the biblical calendar.
The bible says that every week, we should have a sabbath. In many countries, Christians gather on churches on a Sunday because they believe it is a sabbath day set in the biblical calendar. Others go to church on a Saturday because that’s what they think it is their sabbath. Even Muslims have biblical calendars that they observe because we all serve one God. The sabbath days believes, and churches are the ones that make us have different religions.
These days, schools have made Christian religious education a compulsory subject. Such a subject help people to develop their spiritual beliefs and also know more about biblical calendars. Even though some biblical dates are celebrated in some seasons, the bible does not explain why the biblical dates were kept in line with such seasons. Some believe that biblical calendars are kept in line with some seasons because in the past people used to bring agricultural products as tithes. Because of that reason, the holy dates were adjusted to favor some seasons. They usually marked biblical dates with seasons because they did not know when the new year was starting.
