{"product_id":"biblical-holy-days","title":"Biblical Holy Days vs. Pagan Holidays","description":"\u003cp\u003eAre you sensing something is off about the way Christians celebrate holidays? Wondering why the church at large meets on Sunday rather than on the Sabbath? Want to get off the treadmill of nonstop work and stress — and into the rhythm of a weekly day of rest and prolonged times of refreshment throughout every year?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Topic Belongs on a Homeschool Site\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA growing percentage of families who have switched to observing the 7th-day Sabbath and the annual holy days described in Leviticus 23 and elsewhere in the Bible are homeschoolers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a close affinity between what homeschoolers have discovered works — close mentoring, the older discipling the younger, building precept upon precept, teaching for mastery rather than grades, keeping it close to home — and how this is done within a corporate fellowship of believers. It reflects a shift from the Greek model (filling students with information) to the Hebraic model of shaping a life via close daily association.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomeschool parents tend to research and dig to the roots of how things are done, and are open to changing them when discrepancies, inefficiencies, and unbiblical patterns are recognized.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engaging, multifaceted \u003cstrong\u003e106-page softcover book\u003c\/strong\u003e is about reclaiming the divine and ditching the sham holidays. Discover how the Heavenly Father provided a full day of rejuvenating rest and worship for all people — and how that was lost in history. Read scriptural and historical evidence for a much-needed, forgotten weekly gift, and for days symmetrically placed throughout each year that are packed with life and meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowhere did God command us to celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Easter, or other such days — but He did lay out \u003cstrong\u003eseven annual festivals\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eseventh weekly day\u003c\/strong\u003e for observance by all who love Him, through all generations. Here is a short introduction to all of them, with convincing logic and beautiful benefits. Try celebrating these for a year, and see if you don't wind up closer to the Lord you love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe information in this book includes what the divinely ordered holidays are, when to observe them, and simple suggestions for how to celebrate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis softcover book includes all of the content of the seven eBooks listed in the Related Products section below — each also available individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLook Inside at our Amazon listing, then return here to order for less.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/9512\/4555\/files\/PassoverWeekThenAndNow_2026.pdf?v=1774837765\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our chart of the original Passover (\"Passion Week\") events and their 2026 anniversary dates.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading on Our Blog\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homeschoolhowtos.com\/blogs\/articles\/keep-perspective-on-your-emotions-during-christmas\"\u003eKeep perspective on your emotions during Christmas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homeschoolhowtos.com\/blogs\/articles\/transforming-christmas-depression-into-joy\"\u003eTransforming Christmas depression into joy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homeschoolhowtos.com\/blogs\/articles\/birthdays-in-the-bible\"\u003eBirthdays under the magnifying glass of the Word\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homeschoolhowtos.com\/blogs\/articles\/corralling-the-influence-of-worldly-media-in-the-home\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products: The 7 Bundled eBooks — Also Available Individually\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homeschoolhowtos.com\/products\/me-keep-the-sabbath\"\u003eMe?
