Dear @papa-pepper,
Christmas is not even the season that Christ was born. The shepherds watched the sheep in Bethlehem that were to be sacrificed either in the spring or fall and not in the winter. But the Roman Catholic Church established this non-biblical holiday and it was carried on by the Protestants as well.
Easter is based upon the solar calendar and not the Hebrew lunar calendar. The resurrection of the Messiah took place on the third day after his crucifixion. Again Catholic tradition instituted a non-biblical holiday . In 2017 Passover started on Tuesday, the 11th of April but Easter in 2017 was on Sunday, April 16 - 5 days after His crucifixion.
In other words, these Christian holidays are not celebrated on the day of the month or even in the season that the event occurred.
I am saying all this to confirm that Palm Sunday is a celebration that again was instituted to commemorate an event but is not accurate as to the calendar date of the event.
You can't start on the first day of the week because a Sunday is not the day of the week that Jesus had his triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
The seventh day of each week is the weekly sabbath. Jesus was crucified on Nisan 14 when the lambs were slaughtered for the Passover.
During the first week of the month, Saturday was Nisan 7. Therefore, Sunday was Nisan 8, Monday was Nisan 9, and Tuesday was Nisan 10.
That's why I do not believe in Palm Sunday as the actual date,
Shalom, Steven
Interesting, for some reason I thought it was recorded that His "triumphal entry" was on the "first day of the week." I agree that those other "holidays" have nothing to do with anything Christian or Christ-related and instead were just made to seem that way. Thanks for checking this out Brother.
