Biblical Feast Days 2026
The appointed times for 2026 — dates, meaning, and why observances vary.
The biblical feast days — also called the appointed times or holy convocations — mark the rhythm of the scriptural year. Below is a 2026 overview of the major feasts, the Scripture that establishes each one, and the windows in which they commonly fall.
Note: exact dates differ between traditions because calendars are calculated differently (sighted new moon vs. calculated) and a day may be counted sunset-to-sunset. Use the ranges below as a guide, and confirm against the method you follow.
