Since both 2020-21 and 2022-23 were intercalated (13–month) years, we believe the Feasts of the Lord will likely occur in 2025 as follows:
Feast | Day | Begin | Day | End | L |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Passover | Sun | 04/13 | 1 | ||
Unl Bread | Sun | 04/13 | Sat | 04/19 | 7 |
Firstfruits | Sun | 04/20 | 1 | ||
Pentecost | Sun | 06/08 | 1 | ||
Trumpets | Tue | 09/23 | 1 | ||
Atonement | Thu | 10/02 | 1 | ||
Tabernacles | Tue | 10/07 | Tue | 10/14 | 8 |
Each holy day starts sunset the prior evening.
♦ Sunday Sabbath: work forbidden
♦ Weekday Sabbath: take off work
This follows since an intercalated year typically occurs every 3rd year, with two normal years in between (I-N-N-I). About once in 15-20 years there’s only one normal year in between the intercalated years (I-N-I).
According to AoG records, an isolated normal year (I-N-I) occurred in 2004 and again in 2021. If this pattern holds, the appointed times can be anticipated with reasonable accuracy until around the year 2035. So, unless there are unusually cold or warm seasons delaying or advancing the harvests, we may reasonably expect the following pattern.
