High Sabbaths

Encyclopedia : H : HI : HIG : High Sabbaths

High Sabbaths (John 19:31) refer to the annual festivals recorded in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Rather than the weekly seventh day Sabbath, these days of the Festivals of Unleavened Bread or Passover (Pesach), Pentecost (Shavuot), Atonement (Yom Kippur), Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), and Tabernacles (Sukkoth) may fall on various other days of the week.

The ten day period between the High Sabbaths of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are commonly referred to as the High Holy Days, or High Holidays.
