Abstract
As far as the life of the New Testament believer is concerned, the ancient festivals of the Jews are null and void. All Old Testament rites and ceremonies, which were only "a shadow of things to come” (Col. 2,16), have been abrogated by the coming of God's Son into the flesh. But even though the Jewish festivals are no longer to be observed by us, we cannot afford to forget all about them. Leaving the Old Testament out of the question altogether, the proper understanding of the New Testament alone demands a thorough investigation of all that is connected with those old festivals. It is impossible, for example, to view the life of Christ correctly without having as background the knowledge of Jewish religious life in His time. The subject of this thesis, therefore, is well worthy of consideration.
