Everyone enjoys a good holiday. It's a time to get away from work and the daily grind... a time to spend with family and friends. Almost all holidays involve food, drink and celebration. LOTS of FOOD! When I was young and had a greater capacity for eating, I actually had three Christmas dinners one day! Friends and family invited - who could say no? It was required! And it was wonderful!

In olden days these celebration dinners were called feasts. A feast is more than just a meal. Kings and rich men made feasts to celebrate anything. A marriage, a birth, a baptism, a victory, any excuse at all was a good reason to make a feast. But there were also regularly recurring feasts.

Nowadays, we generally call them holidays. "Home for the holidays", the "holiday season" and all that. You know what I mean.

The word "holiday" used to mean "Holy Day" but it has been secularized. This is similar to the secularization of "Christ Mass" to "Christmas" and eventually to "xmas".

Men try to stay as far away as possible from spiritual things. For this reason, Holy Days have been mostly forgotten and replaced by holidays.

Yahweh knew that we needed these times of rest, reflection, recreation, feasting and celebration, so He gave us several. He called them Sabbaths or "rest days" or Holy-Days and there are many more than just the weekly rest day (see Hidden Sabbaths and also see Feasts of Redemption).

The purpose of this study is to compare Satan's holidays with Yahweh's Holy-Days
