Hanukkah

Hanukkah marks our devotion to universal justice. It is celebrated for 8 night starting from nightfall on the on the 24th of the 9th Month (Kislev). 

Hanukkah commemorates the defeat of the proto-Antichrist Epiphanius by the Maccabees symbolising the victory of the Bible of the Edah of Thyatira over the Beast at the start of the Millenial Advent "Day of Darkness". 

The suffering of the righteous martyrs in the story bares witness to the necessary reality of justice following death. The nature of this concept was never made so explicit in the Septuagint and marks the beginning of a new religious era based around hope in life after death. 

The books of Maccabees are the first books of the New Noahide Testament according to Messianic Noahide Judaism. The Messianic Liturgical cycle begins on the first Sunday of Advent when it falls at the end of the 9th Month (equivalent to November).

The Oral Torah tells us that even thougb there is not enough oil for the rededication, it will still be enough. The feast of rededication therefore becomes a Yartzeit lighting a candle in hope of life after death. If even righteousness is not rewarded in this life but is allowed to suffer, then how much more will unpunished wickedness not be allowed to escape justice? 

Hanukkah is to realize that being faithful does not always bring earthly rewards to oneself, but to one's community. 

Cheshvan-27 (Sigid)

The end of the Roman 8th Month (October) is usually associated with Halloween, but in Judaism the holiday at the end of the 8th month (equivalent to October) is 27th, the day when HaShem commanded Noah to depart from the Ark. This Holiday often coincides with various pagan celebrations like Divali and Samhain. 

Tishrei

Tishrei, the 7th month in Judaism is a month full of Holy Days: Rosh HaShana; Yom Kippur; Succot; the 8th Day; and Simhat Torah. 

The Holidays commemorate the events surrounding the second set of clay tablets that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai after smashing the first set because of Israel's sin with the Golden Calf. 

So Tishrei is all about second chances and starting over again and that is why we call the feast of Trumpets the Start of the Year (Rosh HaShana).

The start of the year also refers to the start of the Hashemitic mission on the planet Earth when Adam Kadmon and his Bride the Heavenly Jerusalem Above were first revealed to the repformed Qeinite, Enoch who would eventually become Adam Kadmon's firstborn, Seth. This revelation to the Qeinites marked the start of HaShem's sojourn on planet Earth with his people as Immanuel.

Rosh HaShana is called the Feast of Trumpets because it is like a second Pentecost when HaShem finally responded to the pleading of Moses and appeared a second time on Mount Sinai but would only show him his back. His name was proclaimed as he passed by the cleft in the Mountain with a Trumpet Blast. In the Oral Torah the mountain to which his face was turned crumbled.

Yom Kippur is the day that Moses returned to camp with the new Tablets. The fasted is a sign of our ratification of the covenant. 

Succot is the memorial of how the people contributed all of their belongings to the common good for the beautification of the religion. We live in tents to show our willingness to accept poverty if all of our wealth is used for the religion. 

The 8th Day marks the end of Succot and the entry into the Messianic era. Simhat Torah is an extension of the same concept of living with HaShem forever. 

3-weeks

The Three Weeks are a fast during the month of July which was the original basis for the Apostles' Fast.

The Three Weeks are a traditional period of Fasting in Judaism to mourn various disasters which have taken place throughout Jewish history starting with the Sin of the Golden Calf.

The last day of the fast is Tisha bAv which is the day we remember the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples mourning the success of the wicked Kingdom in 70CE by fasting to purify ourselves as the Temple of the New Jerusalem. 

Shavuot

As with every Yomtov other than Yom Kippur, the Second day of the Yomtov is for Messianic Noahides. The Teliya tells us that Messianic Noahides are to celebrate such days with a different emphasis from Judaism and in this case the focus for Messianic Noahides is supposed to be on the Ascension rather than  on Harvest.

The first Shavuot was on the 6th of Sivan and commemorated the revelation of the Exodus 20:1-24:4 Constitution.

On the 7th day of Sivan HaShem feasted with the Sanhedrin. 

Ascension

The 3rd of Sivan is the first day of the Feast of the Ascension which culminates in Pentecost. Relevant passages include:

Exodus 19 & 20
Mark 16:19-20
Luke 24:50-53
Acts 1 & 2
1 Corinthians 15:6

Please watch this video for details:

It is good practice to do Tahorat on the 3rd day of the 3rd Hebrew month dress in white and preserve your taharat until the Feast of Shavuot.

ASCENSION (MK, LK) 

40 days after the resurrection Jesus ascended on the 3rd of the 3rd and were taken from their sight by a cloud.

PENTECOST (LK, PL) 

Then He sent the gift of His Word to all Disciples at Pentecost.

SAUL (LK, PL) 
Then His Word and Name appeared to Saul of Tarsus.

JOHN-SIMON (JN) 

And He sent His Word and Name again to John-Simon (also known as Elijah) on the Island of Patmos.

And thus His Word and Name remain so with us still until His Shubiha Jesus Patibilis returns with Power and Glory.

Midpentecost

 Lag B'Omer means the 33rd day of counting the Omer. It always falls on the 18th of Iyyar. For Messianic Noahides it corresponds to the 3rd day of the Feast of Midpentecost which corresponds to the 3 days that Jesus was lost following the Pesach Sheni that his parents attended in Jerusalem when he was 12 for his Bar Mitzva. In Judaism it is remembered as the day when the Kabbalah was revealed.

Luke 2:47

James-Lazarus (JN, PL) 

Then James-Lazarus, His appointed "brother", saw Him from a fishing boat on the shore of Tiberias. 

Thomas-sunday

THOMAS SUNDAY (MT, MK, LK, JN, PL) 

On the 1st of Iyyar, Matthias and the 11 all met Jesus in Galilee when he descended to them again one week after the Resurrecton Sunday. 

This was the first time that the new 12 had seen him all together and was the beginning of a New Era. For this reason 1st of Iyar became celebrated as 1st of Muharram by Muslims. 

On this occasion, Jesus had some broiled fish and honeycomb to eat before doing many other things appearing to over 500 people at the same time.

On Thomas Sunday, Jesus told Thomas to put his finger u to his wounds in order to dispel his disbelief. 

Easter-Sunday

RAISING (HAVDALAH AFTER PASCHA) 22nd Aviv

On the Boethusian-Sadducee calendar it is Resheit Katzir which is calculated differently from Rabbinical Resheit Katzir. The Christian priesthood descends from the Sadducee and Boethusian lost sheep of the house of Israel hence Christian Priests use the Boethusian-Sadducee calendar rather than use the dates provided for us by the Scribes and Pharisees who told the Boethusian Sadducees to be Noahides rather than Minim. 

1 Corinthians 15:6 tells us the sequence of resurrection events helping us realize that Peter was the only one of the 12 to see Jesus on the first day of the resurrection. It happened like this. 

After Pascha the women witnessed his resurrection early in the morning on the first day of Yeast (whence derives the Viking word "Yeaster" meaning "Raising"). Nisan 22nd is another holiday mandated by the Rabbonim of the Exile. It is important to note that this first day of Raising has NO OTHER SIGNIFICANCE in Rabbinical Judaism because by overlooking that fact, many have for centuries misunderstood the great secret of Noahide Judaism about which is is said, "those who know don't say and those who say don't know". But Messianic Noahides know this secret. 

It was early (MT 28:1) on the first day of the week. While it was yet still very overcast 6 women (Mary, Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa, the Mother of James, Salome and Joanna) set out to meet at the sepulchre to embalm Jesus' Patibilis/Shubiha/Mahmad. Mary and Magda went ahead while the other lagged behind. 

The 6 Women

GUARDS' REPORT FOR MATTHEW
Just like on Preparation day, Mary and Magda witnessed the Earth quake again and the guards became like dead men as they saw an angel descend from heaven to roll the stone away to the right. (MT 28:2-4)

Meanwhile, the other Mary-Cleopa and the Mother of James as well as Salome were on their way to the tomb wondering who would remove the stone before they saw it open. 

One Mary immediately hurried silently to tell the Talmidim in Jerusalem they don't know where Jesus is (JN 20:1-2). 

SALOME'S REPORT FOR MARK

Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa, the Mother of James as well as Salome approached to see the angel sat on the stone to the right of the open tomb (MK 16:1-5). The angel spoke to them before departing (MT 28:5-7, MK 16:6-7)

"Don't be shocked, you are looking for Jesus' Patibilis/Shubiha/Mahmad, he is risen, as he said, he is not here look where he lay."

JOANA'S REPORT (LK)
Next, Joana arrives in the morning (LK 24:1) to join Magda, the other Mary-Cleopa and the Mother of James as well as Salome standing by the Sepulchre. 

Salome and the other Mary-Clopas hurried away silently. Magda, the Mother of James and Joanna enter the Sepulchre where they see two more angels appear inside to tell them the news.

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’"

PETER ARRIVES (LK, JN)
The women silently hurry and tell Matthias and the 11 Apostles and others. (LK 24:3-9) Magda, the Mother of James and Joanna meet Mary, Peter and Lazarus already running back to the Sepulchre (JN 20:3-5). Peter then Lazarus enter the Sepulchre. It's not clear if they saw the two angels present, but they believe the news (JN 20:6-9)

Simon Peter finds Mary-Cleopa going to a gathering on the Emmaus road while Lazarus accompanies his mother and Joanna home to the brethren in Bethany where they prepare to leave for Galilee.

HE APPEARS (MT, MK, JN)
Before leaving with Magda, Mary sees the two angels in the Sepulchre who ask her why she crys and Mary replies.

Though almost unrecognisable, on the first day of the week when Jesus rose, he appeared to Mary & Magda first. Mary thought Jesus was a gardener when he questioned Mary as the angels did but while speaking suddenly Jesus was recognisable.

Mary rejoices when she finally recognises the gardener as Jesus. Magda worships him while Mary clasps his feet. Jesus tells Mary not to because he must ascend first. Then He instructs them to tell the Brethren to prepare to meet him in Galilee because he is going to ascend.

Magda goes telling the brethren that Jesus lives and has spoken to Mary.

GUARDS BRIBED (MT)
Meanwhile the guards had rushed to tell the chief priests what they had witnessed (MT 28:11-16)

EMMAUS (MK, LK, JN, PL)
In a different way, Jesus revealed Himself when He found Peter & the other Mary-Cleopa on the Emmaus road but they don't see it's Him while He instructs them on the road.

Peter & Mary-Cleopa meet the Risen Jesus going to Emaus

PETER

He then stops with them and the other women in the house on the Emmaus road and when those disciples assembled had shut the doors for fear of the Jews, He stood among them and breaks bread and Peter recognised Him before he vanished. 

He gives those at Emaus peace, shows them His hands and side, again gives them peace, commissions them, breathes Holy Spirit on them and gives them authority to forgive or withhold before ascending. 

After talking about it, two of them walk two hours back to tell Matthias and the 10 other apostles in Jerusalem. They tell them that the reports of the women are true and Jesus has also been recognised by Simon Peter.

LK 24:36, JN 20:21-23.

Thomas Sunday (29th of Aviv)

THE 12 (MT, MK, LK, JN, PL) 
Although Thomas says he can't believe it because he wasn't with them, they do all agree to go to Galilee together where Matthias and the 11 other apostles all meet Jesus when he descends to them the following Sunday and has some broiled fish and honeycomb to eat. (Thomas Sunday). JN20:24-29, LK 24:37-43, MT28:16-17.

This is in accordance with Paul when he says that Jesus was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and (not counting female witnesses) Paul says that Jesus appeared to Cephas and eventually to all of the new Twelve by the following Sunday (Thomas Sunday) and ate some broiled fish.

Week starting 5th of Iyar

Appearing to over 500 people at the same time

(Matthew 28:18, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:44, John 20:30)

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once most of whom were still living when Paul wrote, though some had fallen asleep. 

Week starting 12th day of Iyar

Beloved James/Lazarus (PL & John 21:1)

The 4th time he appeared it was James-Lazarus who recognized him and Jesus made them breakfast on the shore of Tiberias. 

LG B'Omer or WEEK starting 26th of Iyar

ASCENSION (MK, LK)

40 days after the resurrection Jesus taught them on the Mount of Olives. Then He revealed the Kabbalah to all the 120 apostles. 

Then ascended being taken from their sight by a cloud.

3rd of Sivan

PENTECOST (LK, PL) 

Then He sent the gift of His Word to all Disciples at Pentecost.

Not only at the ascension and pentecost but he also appeared at the stoning of Stephen. 

SAUL (LK, PL) 
Then eventually His Word and Name appeared to Saul of Tarsusin whom he revealed himself and who bore his wounds in his body. 

JOHN (JN) 

And finally He sent His Word and Name again to John on the Island of Patmos.

And thus His Word and Name remain so with us still until His Shubiha returns with Power and Glory.

It was early (MT 28:1) on the first day of the week. Several women set out to meet at the sepulchre to embalm the crucified Jesus.

MARY'S REPORT (MT)
First to arrive at the sepulchre was Mary and the other Mary (Mother Clopas). Just like on Preparation day, the Earth quaked again as They saw an angel descend from heaven to roll the stone away to the right. (MT 28:2-3) The guards became like dead men. (MT 28:4)

SALOME'S REPORT (MT, MK)
The angel sat on the stone to the right (MK 16:5). Then Salome and Mary Mother of James also came to the tomb (MK 16:1) at sunrise (MK 16:2) wondering who would remove the stone before they saw what had happened. The angel spoke to all those Women before departing (MT 28:5-7, MK 16:6-7)
"Don't be shocked, you are looking for Jesus who was crucified, he is risen, as he said, he is not here look where he lay."

MAGDA'S REPORT (MT, JN)
While it was yet still very overcast (JN 20:1), Magda arriving a little behind them sees the Sepulchre open where Salome and Mother Mary ran to tell her they don't know where Jesus Patibilis is.

Mother Mary & Magda silently hurry to tell the Talmidim in Jerusalem (JN 20:2) leaving Mother Clopas and James's Mother by the Sepulchre.

JOANA'S REPORT (LK)
Next, Joana arrives in the morning (LK 24:1) and enters the Sepulchre with Mother Clopas and James's Mother where they see two more angels appear inside to tell them the news.
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’"

PETER ARRIVES (LK, JN)
The women silently hurry and tell the 11 Apostles and others. (LK 24:3-9) Joana goes on after Salome while Mother Clopas and James's Mother meet Peter and Beloved Lazarus already running back to the Sepulchre (JN 20:3-5) with Mary & Magda. Peter then Beloved Lazarus enter the Sepulchre. It's not clear if they saw the two angels present, but they believe the news (JN 20:6-9)

Simon Peter accompanies Mother Clopas to a gathering on the Emmaus road while Beloved Lazarus accompanies his Mother home to the brethren in Bethany where they prepare to leave for Galilee.

HE APPEARS (MT, MK, JN)
Before leaving with Mary, Magda sees the two angels in the Sepulchre who ask her why she crys and Magda replies.

Though almost unrecognisable on the first day of the week when Jesus Patibilis rose, he appeared to Mary & Magda first. Magda thought Jesus Patibilis was a gardener when he questioned Magda as the angels did but while speaking suddenly Jesus Patibilis was recognisable.

Mary & Magda rejoice when they finally recognised the gardener as Jesus Patibilis. Mary worships him while Magda clasps his feet. Jesus Patibilis tells Magda not to because he must ascend first. Then He instructs them to tell the Brethren to prepare to meet him in Galilee because he is going to ascend.

Mary & Magda go telling the brethren that Jesus Patibilis lives.

GUARDS BRIBED (MT)
Meanwhile the guards had rushed to tell the chief priests what they had witnessed (MT 28:11-16)

EMMAUS (MK, LK, JN, PL)
In a different way, Jesus Patibilis revealed Himself when He found Peter & Mother Clopas on the Emmaus road but they don't see it's Him while He instructs them on the road.

He then stops with them and the other women in the house on the Emmaus road and when those disciples assembled had shut the doors for fear of the Jews, He stood among them and breaks bread. He gives them peace, shows them His hands and side, again gives them peace, commissions them, breathes Holy Spirit on them and gives them authority to forgive or withhold before ascending.

Holy-Week

Here is the NT radicalist interpretstion of Holy Week. 

PALM SUNDAY 15th Aviv

John Chapter 12:12 on Palm Sunday Jesus sits on a Donkey in the temple. This is the second time in the past 7 days. A voice from heaven speaks. Everyone expects something epic from Jesus but he says just a few sentences about dying then leaves. 

Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22

In the evening, Jesus performs Havdalah after finishing tish with his disciples. 

John chapter 13, Judas takes the shirayim and immediately leaves to betray him. 

John Chapters 14 to 17, after Havdalah Jesus tells his disciples about the Paraclete as they walk from Mount Zion to the Mount of Olives. Jesus leaves his disciples in the garden and takes James John and Zebedee a stone's throw further. He then goes on himself a little further to pray alone and is strengthened by an Angel. 

Jesus is arrested in the garden of Gethsemane and taken to the house of Annas. A disciple known to Anna's let's Peter in. Jesus speaks. A young man runs away naked and Peter denies Jesus before the cock crows twice as Jesus is taken from the house of Annas. 

HOLY MONDAY 16th Aviv

Matthew 26:57-67, Mark 14:53-65, Luke 22:66-71, John 18:24.

At break of day (sunrise) on Monday Jesus was brought from Annas to Caiaphas, the Chef Priests, Scribes and Elders. Jesus reveals the Pardes infuriating the Sadducees. 

We are told at this point that Judas hanged himself. But I doubt that we can take it that he did so at this time rather than later. 

HOLY TUESDAY 17th Aviv

Matt 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, Luke 23:1-7, John 18:28-37.

The next day Tuesday morning Jesus was seen by Pontius Pilate who wants to let him go after being reminded that Pilate has declared Jesus king. 

HOLY WEDNESDAY 18th Aviv

Luke 23:8-12

The next day, Wednesday, he was seen by Herod. 

HOLY THURSDAY 19th Aviv

Matthew 27:15-30, Mark 15:6-19, Luke 23:13-25, John 18:38-19:16. 

The next day Thursday Jesus was back to Pilate for the last time. Claudia begs Pilate not to handle the case. Pilate ponders, "what is truth?" then frees Barabbas, is scourge and crowned with thorns and when the sun had set after a long day, Pilate washes his hands and Jesus is finally sentenced to Crucifixion by 21pm preparation day night.

GOOD FRIDAY 20th Aviv

PARASKEUE (Preparation day) Friday morning 6am he was nailed to the cross. 

HOLY SATURDAY 21st Aviv

Jesus Harrows Hell.

AZUMOS (15th NISAN) & PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday is always on the Sadducee 15th of Aviv. Since we are told that after the Lazarus Feast meal on Erev Shabbat HaGadol, in the Morning of the 15th John's Gospel states that Jesus sat on a donkey in the Temple of Jerusalem a second time. 

John 12:12-17:26

Riding on Yom Tov is a practice which has subsequently been prohibited by Rabbinical decree meaning that no other Torah observant Jew can ever do that again. But such Rabbinical decress are not retroactive, so the NT Jesus can never be regarded as having broken that law. Messianic Noahides only observe the 15th as the first of the 7 days of Matsos to abstain from Chametz. It is the Day they prepare their first fruit Omers and it is the day they celebrate the Bat Kol. 

THE HAVDALAH SEDER AFTER AZUMOS
The most important thing for Messianic Noahides is the Havdalah (Melave Malka) which takes place after the sun has set on the 15th when the Eve of the 16th begins because they do not observe the regular Pesach Seder on the eve of the 15th.

At this Messianic Noahide "Melave Malka Seder" on the Eve of the 16th, there is no Pesach Lamb served, only a bone leftover from the Lazarus Hagigah of the 14th symbolizing the Pesach Lamb's bones which were given to the dogs in Egypt in order to make the Egyptians bury the bones of their idol. By displaying Lamb bones on their tables for the Melave Malka Seder, Messianic Noahides perform an act of "nullifying the idol".

After the Melave Malka on the Eve of the 16th, Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. 

RESHEIT KATZIR (16th-17th NISAN)
These days the 16th is a solemn Sabbath appointed by the Rabbonim of the Exile. Messianic Noahides must observe the Solemn Sabbath of the 16th as the day their Firstfruit (Resheit Katzir)  was "waved" by the Chief Priests and Sadducees being passed from Ananias to Caiphas on the 16th and from Caiaphas to Pilate on the 17th. Then from Pilate to Herod on the 18th then Herod to Pilate again on the 19th before being crucified on the 20th.

ΕΟΡΤΗΣ / KOL HAMOED (18th-19th NISAN)

He was then passed from Pilate to Herod on the 18th and finally from Herod back to Pilate again on the 19th who washed his hands of the situation by midnight. 

PARASKEUE (20th NISAN)

Paraskeué refers to the preparation day on the 20th of Nisan when Jesus was crucified in the morning and buried before sunset. 

PASCHA (21st NISAN)

Pascha is the Romaniote Jewish word for the holy Yom Tov Sabbath of the 21st which begins after sunset on Paraskeue. Messianic Noahides commemorate it as the Harrowing of Hades.

The Chrismation of Jesus

Jesus was anointed by Mary at the house of Simon the Lepper in Bethany in the eve of Aviv 14th after raising Mary's brother Lazarus from the dead. 

This physical anointing of Jesus by the sinful woman is why he is called Christ by his followers not just because he was anointed by the Holy Spirit as all true believers are. 

The idea that the Messiah will be wed to a sinful woman might have been fulfilled if this Mary was actually the wife of Jesus. 

The NT passages relating this event are:

Matthew 26:1–16

Mark 14:1–11

John 12:1–8

and finally we also find it very out of place in Luke 7:36-50. 

Matthew and Mark all make it very clear that this event was less than 2 days before Azumos and was what inspired Judas to betray Jesus to the Scribes of the Chief Priests. Judas approached the Sadducees to make a deal concerning his Rabbi, after Temple Service on Shabbat. They also help us understand that John means 14th Aviv when he says Jesus came to Bethany and they hosted a dinner for him "6 (whole) days before Passover". The dinner could not have been on the evening of the 14th so must have been the eve of the 14th. 

Jesus also makes clear here that his Kanesa is called "The Poor". 

GREAT SABBATH (LAZARUS SATURDAY)

On the Hasmonean calendar Great Sabbath and the 14th of Aviv are always the same day. Messianic Noahides, unlike their Sadducee ancestors, do not take part in the Pesach ritual at sunset on the 14th, but are allowed to prepare a Hagigah before sunset on the 13th. The portions of the Hagigah could be eaten any time from the beginning of the 14th until the end of the 15th. It should be boiled to show that it is not a Korban Pesach. 

A bone is saved from the Hagigah to take part in a sort of Melave Malka Seder after sunset on the 15th. 

Interestingly, in Armenia, they still eat a meal on Lazarus Saturday called "Hashlamah" which looks like a loanword from Hebrew meaning the Peace offering.

HaShlamah

This is probably the dinner that Jesus enjoyed at the house of Lazarus on the 14th of Aviv. 

Lazarus-Week

The 19th of March 2024 is Yom HaAliyah, the 10th of Aviv, on the Hasmonean Calendar (which became the Christian Calendar in 325AD). It falls in what Messianic Noahides call "Hagigah Week" or "Lazarus Week" (the 8th to 14th of Aviv on the Hasmonean Calendar). It is the week before Holy Week (the Messianic Noahide Haag HaMatsoth). The modern Islamic tradition of the Eid Qurbani Hajj on the 10th of Zulhijah has its origins (before Umar changed the Islamic calendar) in preparations by Messianic Noahides from Yom HaAliyah for their Hagigah on Great Sabbath (the 14th of Aviv) otherwise known as Lazarus Saturday.

Lazarus Week was also a popular time of pilgrimage (Aliyah) for Christians since it was in this week that the NT Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth performed the Sign of Jonah by raising Lazarus from the dead causing many crowds to welcome His arrival in Jerusalem riding on a donkey. 

After his departure, it was wrongly assumed that Jesus would return in the same week to the Mount of Olives as the Messiah ben David. 

To ensure that they were not participating in the Pesach activities of the 14th, Messianic Noahides would slaughter their Hagigah (set aside from the 10th) before sunset on the 13th at the latest. Thus Eid Qurbani had its origin in preparation for the CHagigah while only Eastern Christians still observe a Lazarus feast before sunset on Lazarus Saturday.

Hagigah
