In the time of ancient Israel, there were three great annual festivals celebrated by God’s people: the Passover, the Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
These were special occasions when God’s family had the opportunity to commemorate the great deliverance God had provided them when they were suffering from slavery in Egypt. God planned that His people should always remember the great blessings bestowed upon them during their entire history.

Dear Brethren around the world,
Warm Christian greetings with the following Scriptures, one from the Old Testament and another from the New Testament:
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:5, 6.
