I have only been Christian for a few years (trying to be), and my family started going to Churches of Christ-where I was surprised to find the handing out of communion. My spirit felt this was not right, even though I hadn’t been to a church for years (only for weddings, funerals). We tried different churches in our area, but they all did communion, and the spirit in the churches was lacking, although some of the people were great Christians. We decided to have “home church”, where as you say Martin, Jesus said that if two or three are gathered in My Name, I will be there. (Paraphrasing)
Thank you, Martin. Your piece has inspired me to study the festivals deeper. You show how Christ is the fulfillment of prophecy by connecting the festivals from the Old to New Testaments. Indeed, Jesus said he came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.
"By establishing the New Covenant at the Passover, Christ showed us its spiritual meaning. It is the first festival, and begins God’s plan for mankind, both in the New and Old Covenants. The release from the bondage of slavery parallels the release from the bondage of sin." Amen! Glory to God the Father for sending the Lamb of God to redeem us! May we continue to partake in communion in remembrance of Christ's sacrificial love.✝️😊
There is a lot that has been ignored and glossed over about the elements of the Old Covenant and how it impacts the New. This is founded in the racist antisemitism that was promoted by all "Christian" churches for many hundreds of years.
It is now still just below the surface, as can be seen by the protests against Israel in the past few months, which then spills over to quickly become anti Jewish protests. It seems we are in for another round of antisemitism, which will include all those who keep the "Jewish" Holy Days and the Sabbath. (John 16:2-3)

Appreciate your feedback
It is not easy to find the narrow road, but we are told to :
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
(Prov 3:5-6)
Happy to discuss anything you want, not that I will always have the answers by any means but it is nice to share ideas and lessons.
Thanks Martin! I’m enjoying reading your posts!
