If you look at the origin of the word "holiday", it comes from the words holy and day. Therefore, there is not really a difference between the meanings of the two, holy days and holidays. But I am going to use them differently for clarity's sake. When I say holydays, I will be refering to the commanded feasts in the Bible. When I use holidays, I will be speaking of the days celebated by Christendom today. This is not to say that one word is better than the other, but rather to make a difference, a seperation if you will, to differentiate between them.

Holy Days

Having gotten this far, you know that I do celebrate the feasts in the Bible, so I am not going to argue the case for whether or not to observe the commanded feasts of G-d but rather how I celebrate them.

Sabbath Shabbat

New Moon Rosh Chodesh

Spring Feasts	Fall Feasts
Passover Pesach	Trumpets Rosh HaShannah
Firstfruits Yom HaBikkurim	Atonement Yom Kippur
Weeks Shavuot	Tabernacles Sukkot

Holidays

My intention is not to offend my christian friends or imply changes they should make. I am not the Holy Spirit or their conscience. I simply want to explain why I do not celebrate these holidays and let them decide for themselves if this information has any merit in their lives.

Valentine's Day	Easter
St. Patrick's Day	Halloween
April Fool's Day	Christmas
