GODS FESTIVALS AND HOLY DAYS CALENDAR 2023 -2031

*mô‛êd mô‛êd mô‛âdâh-From H3259; properly an appointment, that is, a fixed time or season; specifically a festival; conventionally a year;

*chôdesh-From H2318; the new moon; by implication a month: - month (-ly), new moon.

The projected dates below are based on approximate calculations of the first new moon visibility as seen from Palestine/Jerusalem.

All listed dates should be confirmed by report of actual new moon visibility.

Note: Biblical Days begin at Sunset. Therefore, a Holy Day begins at Sunset of the day listed. For example, a Holy Day that is on Wednesday is observed from Sunset Tuesday to Sunset Wednesday.
The sighting of the new moon on or after the spring equinox determines the beginning of the 1st month. The new moon is not visible for approximately two days/nights.

*The Passover service itself is held just after Sunset (evening before) Marking the start of Passover.

The projected dates below are based on approximate calculations of the first new moon visibility, at Jerusalem. All listed dates should be confirmed by report of actual new moon visibility.

I encourage you to do your own Bible study and come to your own conclusion as to the start of the new year.

These are just expected times for planning purposes. All holy-days start at the evening prior to morning the next day.

If spotted in Israel evening of the 1st, held in U.S. beginning at dark the 1st thru the 2nd's day light portion.

The following are the possible start dates.
There is always 2-3 day period, depending on the weather, of the new moons visibility. And if not sighted by the third day, the third day is considered as the start of the new moon.

There are two equinoxes every year, in March and September, when the Sun shines directly on the equator, and the length of night and day are nearly equal.

The March equinox Marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and vice versa in September.

All times are local time for Jerusalem. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Times adjusted for DST if applicable.
