Feasts of the Lord

Feasts and Their Meaning by 
Susan Anthony

Israel’s festivals were communal and commemorative as well as theological and typological. They were commemorative in that they kept alive the story of what God had done in the exodus and during the sojourn. They were typological in that they anticipated a greater fulfillment of the symbolism of the feasts. It is not surprising that each of the major feasts is in some way alluded to in the New Testament.
